You are helping your friend unload their moving truck. You are starting to get lazy, so you just set the boxes on the ramp down to the ground to let them slide down. You try to do the same with a small chair, but notice that it slides down the ramp much more slowly. Being a budding physicist, you reason that this is because the chair/ramp combination has a larger coefficient of kinetic friction than the boxes/ramp combination. The chair accelerates down the ramp at 0.72 ? ? 2 . The ramp is at an angle of 31° below the horizontal and the chair has a mass of 13 ??. Find the coefficient of friction between the chair and the ramp. Draw a free body diagram 2. Set up a coordinate system. You must correctly follow our rule to align the net acceleration for the system to be along a single axis (it cannot have an x- and a y-component). Correctly set up Newton’s Second Law (sum of the forces) in both the x- and y- direction. Correctly use either sinθ or cosθ as appropriate.
An automobile is going up a grade of 15 with an initial velocity of 30 m/s. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.7. a) What minimum distance does it take to stop the car? b) What minimum distance would it take to stop the car if it were going down the grade?
A car is driving along a circular track with diameter d = 0.59km at a constant speed of v = 21.2 m/s. Write an expression and find the value for the minimum coefficient of friction between the cars tires and road required in order to keep the car going in a circle in terms of the given parameters.
Problem 2: Princess Peach is competing in a Mario Kart race on Rainbow Road. Rainbow Road has no rails, so Peach has to be careful taking turns to make sure she doesn't fall off. There is a notoriously difficult turn on the track made up of a portion of a circle 120m in diameter. The road is angled at 30°. The track has a friction coefficient of μ = .40. Given that Peach and the car weigh 800 kg. a) Draw a free-body diagram for the car on the road. b) What is the magnitude of the normal force, and what angle does it make with the horizontal? c) Repeat part b for the the friction force d) How fast can Peach take the turn without flying or falling off the track?

Question 4.3a: A 65.0-kg box is pulled by a rope making an angle of = 15.0" with the horizontal. The tension in the rope is 33.0 N. (Assume the surface the box slides across is frictionless.) If the box starts from rest, determine the time required to move the box a horizontal distance of 2.49 m. Question 4.3b: The figure shows two blocks connected by a lightweight string across a frictionless pulley. The hanging block has mass m₂ = 5.05 kg and the second block has mass m₂ = 3.45 kg. The ramp is frictionless and inclined at an angle of = 41.0" from the horizontal. When released from rest, block 1 will descend and block 2 will move up the ramp. (Assume the ramp is frictionless.) Q Determine the magnitude of each block's acceleration and the tension in the string. m/s² a T=
As a van climbs a 35 ° slope at 60 m/s, its driver falls ill and takes his foot off the accelerator pedal. The van stops after 75 m. Since the ill driver cannot use the foot brake and hand brake, the truck starts to move downhill after a moment's stop. After the van slides 40 meters downhill, the driver begins to brake. Since the braking force is 0.5W (W = weight); a- What is the kinetic friction coefficient between the road and the van? b- Calculate the total time it takes until the van comes to the point where the driver got sick while going down the hill. 35°
