Concept explainers

Static and Kinetic Friction

Kinetic friction comes into existence when there are moving surfaces means in other words we can say that the force which comes into existing between moving surfaces is known as kinetic friction.

On the way to Hilton Head, S.C. for Spring Break, your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. A tow truck weighing 4500 lbs comes along and agrees to tow your car, which weighs 1800 lbs, to the nearest town. The driver of the truck attaches his cable to your car at an angle of 22° from the horizontal. He tells you that his cable has a strength of 550 lbs. He plans to take 10 seconds to tow your car at a constant acceleration from rest, in a straight line along the flat road, until he reaches the maximum speed limit of 45 miles/hour. Can the driver carry out his plan? You assume that rolling friction behaves like kinetic friction, and the coefficient of rolling friction between your tires and the road is 0.10.

A 1.0 kg pendulum block at the end of a 1.0 m long rope(assume rope has no mass). When the 1.0 kg mass hangs vertically undisturbed it is in contact with a second block that sits on a flat horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the second block and the horizontal surface is 0.15 for kinetic friction and 0.40 for static friction. The 1.0 kg mass is pulled back to an angle of 60. degrees with respect to the vertical and let go. At the lowest point in its swing, it hits the block. After the collision (which takes 0.070 seconds) the 1.0 kg block bounces off the second block and swings back up to an angle of 12 degrees. What is the maximum mass that the second block can have if it moves after the collision?
