A crate rests on the back of a flat-bed semi truck that is driving at 20 m/s. The crate is dangerously not strapped down. What is the shortest stopping distance possible for the truck such that the crate does not slide on the truck bed if the friction coefficient between the crate and the bed of the truck is 0.40?

A 180-kg crate is sitting on the flatbed of a moving truck. The coefficient of sliding friction between the crate and the truck bed is 0.30. Two taut cables are attached to either side of the crate. Each cable can exert a maximum horizontal force of 650 N either forward or backward if the crate begins to slide. If the truck stops in 1.8 s, what is the maximum speed the truck could have been moving without breaking the cables?
A sled is traveling 4.00m/s along a horizontal stretch of snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is k = 0.0500. How far does the sled go before stopping?
A crate rests on the flatbed of a truck that is initially traveling at 15 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the truck is brought to a halt in a distance of 38 m. If the deceleration of the truck is constant, what is the minimum coefficient of friction between the crate and the truck that is required to keep the crate from sliding?
