In a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data is collected on blocks sliding across a table as each comes to rest. The stopping distance for each block is measured after it has been launched with some initial speed. Experiments are performed on four blocks, each with mass m = 7 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction and the initial speed of each block was as follows: a) Block 1: µz = 0.2 , v¿ = 2 m/s b) Block 2: µk = 0.2 , vị = 4 m/s с) Block 3: Иk d) Block 4: µk = 0.4 , vị = 4 m/s Calculate the stopping distance for each block. Note that you can use either energetics (conservation of energy) or kinematics (forces) to answer this question. Try both! 0.4 , vį = 2 m/s

In the figure, a 4.00 kg block is sent sliding up a plane inclined at 0 = 39.0° while a horizontal force of magnitude F = 45.0 N acts on it. The %3D coefficient of kinetic friction between block and plane is 0.30. What is the magnitude and direction (up or down the plane) of the block's acceleration?
A 2.60 kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force F of magnitude 7.29 N and a vertical force P are then applied to the block (see the figure).

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 88 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.35. a.)Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
You have devised an experiment to measure the kinetic coefficient of friction between a ramp and a mass. You place the mass on the ramp at an angle high enough that the mass starts sliding. You measure the time it takes to fall down a known distance. The time it takes to fall down the 45 degree ramp starting from a standstill is At = 0.46 sec, m=1 kg, and the distance it falls, Ax , is 0.5 m. What is µk? m Дх in At Uk
You are driving through the Ouachita Mountains at 12m/s. You see a maple-leaf oak (Quercus acerifolia) crossing the road and hit the brakes, 20m away. The coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the road is μ_k = 0.7. Will you strike this endangered broadleaf? Justify your answer with a calculation.Your final answer should be the distance you will travel before coming to a stop.

A car is moving at 20 m/s along a horizontal road has its brakes suddenly applied and eventually comes to rest. What is the shortest distance in which it can be stopped if the friction coefficient between tires and road is 0.90? Assume that all four wheels brake identically. If the brakes don't lock the car stops via static friction.
