Question

A force 450 N pushes on a 30.7 kg box at an angle of 50° from the horizontal. Starting from rest , the box achieves a velocity of 16.37 m/s in a time of 3.7 s. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor.

 

a. 0.24
b. 0.45
c. 0.51
d. 0.35
 

A child on a sled has been given a push so that he is moving up a hill. The hill is covered with icy snow and can be treated as frictionless. The child has a mass of 22.7 kg; the sled has a 3.18 kg. How far will he go before coming to a stop if his speed is 2.44 m/s when he starts at the bottom of the hill? He holds on tightly and so does not fall off the sled, and the hill makes an angle of 25.50 with the horizontal.

 

a. 0.29 m
b. 1.14 m
c. 1.41 m
d. 0.70 m
