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

A small boat is being pushed up a ramp into the back of a flatbed truck. The boat is sitting at the top of the ramp, which is located 1.4 m above the ground. The boaters think the boat is safe there, and begin to walkaway. However, they have neglected the thin layer of ice that has formed on the ramp, which is angled at 30◦ up from the ground. Neglecting the friction between the boat and the ramp, how long do the boaters havebefore the boat reaches the bottom of the ramp?
