Suppose that the coefficient of kinetic friction between Zak's feet and the floor, while wearing socks, is 0.250. Knowing this, Zak decides to get a running start and then slide across the floor. If Zak's speed is 3.00 m/s when he starts to slide, what distance d will he slide before stopping? Use 9.81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. Express your answer in meters. 1 ΑΣΦ ? m

A 1.80x10^4 kg semi-trailer truck drives up a 200 m hill [θ = 30 degrees above horizontal], at a constant speed of 25.0 m/s. The force of friction is 6.00x10^2 N. Write an equation to isolate and solve for P.

A space shuttle lands on a distant planet where the gravitational acceleration is 2.0 ( We do not know thelocal units of length and time , but they are consistent throughout the problem). The shuttle coasts along aleve, frictionless plane with a speed of 6.0. It then coasts up a frictionless ramp of height 5.0 and angle 0f 30°.After a brief ballistic flight, it lands a distance S from the ramp. Solve for S in local units of length. Assume theshuttle is small compared to the local length unit and that all atmospheric effects are negligible. Use x and y components.
Mountain pull. A large mountain can slightly affect the direction of “down” as determined by a plumb line. Assume that we can model a mountain as a sphere of radius R=2.00 km and density (mass per unit volume) 2.6*103 kg/m3. Assume also that we hang a 0.50 m plumb line at a distance of 3R from the sphere’s center and such that the sphere pulls horizontally on the lower end. How far would the lower end move toward the sphere?

A mug of root beer is sliding across a horizontal table with a constant velocity of 5.0[m/s], and is experiencing a friction force. If the mug has a total mass of 2.60[kg] and μk = 0.250, find the force due to friction. Express your answer in N.
Two blocks are connected by a (massless) string that runs over a (massless, frictionless) pulley as shown. Assume there is no friction between block 1 and the surface of the incline. 40° 2 If m₁ = 3.9 kg and m₂ = 5.9 kg, what is the tension in the string? Express your answer in N, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
The rough sketch above shows an ox that pulls a cart up a grassy hillock, after the cart wheels got accidentally locked (and now slide on the grass, instead of rolling!). Now, the strong ox is applying 364 N parallel to the direction of motion; the cart keeps moving uphill with a constant velocity. The angle labeled φ measures 17.5◦ from the horizontal direction [dash line]. Later, the ox will take a break on the flat summit of the hillock, around point P. The average coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction for the grassy surface of this hillock are 0.43 and 0.37, respectively. (a) What is the mass of the cart? (b) Will the normal force on the cart at point P be less than, equal to, or greater than the normal force at the shown snapshot on the slope? (c) What would be the cart’s acceleration on the slope if there were two oxen, each individually exerting a pull of 364 N on the cart, along the side of the hillock?
