A crate of eggs is located in the middle of the flat bed of a pickup truck as the truck negotiates a curve in the flat road. The curve may be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 39.8 m. If the coefficient of static friction between crate and truck is 0.650, how fast can the truck be moving without the crate sliding?vmax =
The box below has been given an initial velocity of 2.60 m/s directed up the ramp. The angle the incline makes with the horizontal is 34.0°. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the ramp is 0.430 while the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.280. Use g = 9.80 m/s2. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the box's acceleration while it is sliding up the ramp. m/s2 (b) How far (measured parallel to the incline) does the box travel before coming instantaneously to rest? m (c) After the box comes instantaneously to rest on the ramp, it then either starts sliding down, or remains at rest. Either enter 0, if you determine that the box remains at rest, or calculate the magnitude of the box's acceleration while it is sliding back down the ramp. m/s2
In the figure, a rectangular slab of slate rests on a bedrock surface inclined at angle = 25.6°. The slab has length L = 43.4 m, thickness T = 6.23 m, and width W = 13.6 m, and 1.0 cm³ of it has a mass of 3.2 g. The coefficient of static friction between slab and bedrock is 0.351. (a) Calculate the component of the gravitational force on the slab parallel to the bedrock surface. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the static frictional force on the slab. By comparing (a) and (b), you can see that the slab is in danger of sliding. This is prevented only by chance protrusions of bedrock. (c) To stabilize the slab, bolts are to be driven perpendicular to the bedrock surface (two bolts are shown). If each bolt has a cross-sectional area of 6.42 cm² and will snap under a shearing stress of 3.57 × 108 N/m², what is the minimum number of bolts needed? Assume that the bolts do not affect the normal force.
A shuttlecock is launched from the ground with an initial speed of 37.2044 m/s at an angle of 8.8162 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The shuttlecock experiences air resistance with a drag coefficient of 0.2903 in an environment where the air density is 0.1313 kg/m3. If the shuttlecock has a radius of 3.4 cm and a mass of 5.2 grams, what is the maximum height reached by the shuttlecock? Assume that the experiment is done near the surface of the earth.
A 47 kg skier rolls off from a frictionless slope with an inclination of approximately 400. From the bottom of the slope, she slides at 25 m/s until she stops 12 seconds later. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction at which point from the foot of the slope is the skier’s speed half the original speed?

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.40 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper tuning rate of one complete revolution every 6.00 s. What is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place when it is to the right of the center of the ride, without sliding? The three forces acting on the cat must be identified. Which forces act on the cat? Gravitational force Static frictional force Tension Kinetic frictional force Normal force
In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 3.90 m diameter hollow steel cylinder with the backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will "stick" to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a coefficient of static coefficient of friction against steel in the range of 0.690 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.480 to 0.70. A sign next to the entrance says "No children under 30 kg allowed." What is the minimum angular speed in rpm (do not enter units) for which the ride is safe? Assume that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s². Submit Answer Tries 0/10
A Smart Fortwo® car has a mass of 730 kg, which we assume on a flat surface is evenly distributed over its four tires. What is the maximum value of static friction on one tire if the coefficient of static friction between the tire and the road is 0.85? Note: In Iceland, though Smart cars are popular, there are special warnings about where to park them because the local winds can be strong enough to move the cars if they are not sheltered.
A constant force Fa pushes a 22.5-kg box across a rough horizontal surface. The magnitude of Fa is 185 N and the force is inclined at an angle of θ = 30.0° below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is μk = 0.500. What is the magnitude of the box's acceleration?
Your 1500 kg SUV enters a 35.0 m radius traffic circle. It is an icy day and the coefficient of static friction between your tire and the road is 0.15. What is the maximum speed that you can go through the traffic circle without sliding? Answer in km/h.
An amusement park ride called the Rotor debuted in 1955 in Germany. Passengers stand in the cylindrical drum of the Rotor as it rotates around its axis. Once the Rotor reaches its operating speed, the floor drops but the riders remain pinned against the wall of the cylinder. Suppose the cylinder makes 24.5 rev/min and has a radius of 3.70 m. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction ?sμs between the wall of the cylinder and the backs of the riders?
