A toy car has a friction coefficient of 0.03. On a 30 degree incline starting from rest, what distance will the toy car have covered after 5 seconds?
An object starts from rest at the top of an incline 20.0 m long and making an angle of 30.0° with the horizontal. Assume that friction can be ignored. How much time elapses before it reaches the bottom of the incline? (Note: use g=9.80 m/s^2)
A crate of mass m is initially at rest at the highest point of an inclined plane, which has a height of 4.7 m and has an angle of θ = 28° with respect to the horizontal. After it has been released, it is observed to be traveling at v = 0.85 m/s a distance d after the end of the inclined plane as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2. Find the distance d, in meters.
A skier is travelling horizontally across frictionless snow at 10 m/s. He goes up an also frictionless slope and his speed drops to 5 m/s at the top when he resumed moving horizontally. How high did he go?
A student is skateboarding down a ramp that is 6.02 m long and inclined at 22.3° with respect to the horizontal. The initial speed of the skateboarder at the top of the ramp is 4.98 m/s. Neglect friction and find the speed at the bottom of the ramp.
You are driving your car on a straight road with a coefficient of friction between the tires and the road of 0.55. A large piece of debris falls in front of your view and you immediate slam on the brakes, leaving a skid mark of 30.5 m (100-feet) long before coming to a stop. A policeman sees your car stopped on the road, looks at the skid mark, and gives you a ticket for traveling over the 13.4 m/s (30 mph) speedlimit. Draw the FBD of the car with complete details.
A block is launched up a 3.75 m high frictionless inclined plane (0 = 35.0°) with an %3D initial speed of vo = 12.5 m/s as shown in the figure below. (a) What is the block's %3D speed as it leaves the ramp? (b) How far from the base of the ramp does the block land? (Air resistance is negligible) Vo=12.5 m/s 3.75 m 0= 35.0° X= ?
Your answer is partially correct. In the figure a block slides along a path that is without friction until the block reaches the section of length L = 0.66 m, which begins at height h = 1.1 m, on a ramp of angle 0 = 32°. In that section the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.410. The block passes through point A with a speed of 8.4 m/s. If the block can reach point B (where the friction ends), what is its speed there, and if it cannot, what is its greatest height above A? Number i 8 6.46 Unit m/s
You throw a rock of mass 0.750 kg straight up in the air with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. Throughout the flight of the rock assume there’s a constant air resistance force of magnitude 1.25 N acting on it. The trajectory of the rock is vertically up and down, with no horizontal motion. (a) What is the maximum height reached by the rock? (b) What is the speed of the rock when it returns to the point of release?
