An object with mass m slides down a frictionless incline from a height of h = 2.50 m above ground level. At the bottom of the incline, it collides with another object that has a mass of 2m. The two objects stick together, and slide into a rough surface where the coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.50 until they stop. Figure 2 shows a diagram of the system. Calculate the distance from the start of the rough surface that the two objects travelled. h m 2m K d = ? Hk

A 70 kg space voyager is stranded on a 700 kg escape pod that has left the main spacecraft and is floating in free space (you may assume its velocity is 0 m/s). A rescue ship is approaching and will pass within 100 m of the escape pod. The space voyager plans to push herself away from the escape pod towards the point by which the rescue ship will pass (point P in the diagram). The space voyager knows that she can apply a constant force of 100 N while she pushes for the 0.50 s it takes her to straighten her arms. (a) What will her velocity be after she has finished pushing against the rescue pod? (b) How long before the rescue ship is due to arrive a point P should the space voyager begin her push?

Sam, whose mass is 80 kgkg , takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 160 NN and a coefficient of kinetic friction on snow of 0.10.1. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 15 ss . What is Sam's top speed? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. How far has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

loaded 305 kgkg toboggan is traveling on smooth horizontal snow at 4.60 m/sm/s when it suddenly comes to a rough region. The region is 7.90 mm long and reduces the toboggan's speed by 1.50 m/sm/s. Part A: What average friction force did the rough region exert on the toboggan? Part B: By what percent did the rough region reduce the toboggan's kinetic energy? Part C: By what percent did the rough region reduce the toboggan's speed?
Multiple-object systems with friction: Two boxes are connected by a weightless cord running over a very light frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. Box A, of mass 8.0 kg, is initially at rest on the top of the table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between box A and the table is 0.10. Box B has a mass of 15.0 kg, and the system begins to move just after it is released. A B (a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes, identifying all of the forces acting on each one. (b) Calculate the acceleration of each box. (6.1 m/s²) (c) What is the tension in the cord? (56 N)
In a classroom at time t = 0 , a sphere is thrown upward at a 45° angle to the horizontal. At time t1, while the sphere is still rising, it bounces off the ceiling elastically and with no friction. Which of the following pairs of graphs could represent the sphere’s horizontal velocity and vertical velocity as functions of time t?

A horizontal force of 80.0 N is applied to a 5.00 kg block as the block slides a distance of 0.800 m along a horizontal floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is 0.500. If the block is initially at rest, how fast is it moving at the end of the displacement?
Two boxes, Box A and Box B, are given an initial push and start moving at equal speed along a level, frictionless surface. The Box B has twice the mass of Box A. They both slide up the same frictionless incline plane. Which box rises to a greater height? Group of answer choices A) Box A rises to the greater height because it weighs less. B)The two objects rise to the same height. C) Box B rises to the greater height because it contains more mass. D) Box A rises to the greater height because it possesses a smaller amount of kinetic energy. E) Box B rises to the greater height because it possesses a larger amount of kinetic energy.
