Two boxes are connected by a rope that passes over a pulley (Figure 6-31). Box #1 is on a ramp inclined at 35° to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and ramp is 0.54. The masses of the boxes are m1 5 2.5 kg and m2 5 5.5 kg. Neglecting the motion of the pulley and assuming that the velocity of each box is in the same direction as its acceleration, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the boxes? Type your answer here Please type your answer to submit Is the acceleration of Box #2 upward or downward? downward m/s²

A driver in a 1000.0kg car traveling at 28 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.80, how long will the skid marks be? O 50 m 63 m 40 m O 47 m
Two crates of fruit are released from the top of a ramp inclined at 30 degrees from the horizontal and 4.5 meter long. The two crates consist of an apple crate of mass 20 kg that is placed in front of a watermelon crate of mass 80 kg. The apple crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.20 while the watermelon crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. How long does it take the apple crate to reach the bottom of the incline if it needs to travel a distance of 4.5 meters?
The man slides the 180-lb crate across the floor by pulling with a constant force of 30 lb. If the crate was initially at rest, how far will the crate move before its speed is 4.0 ft/s? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.15.
A block of mass m = 0.5 kg is kicked so that it slides up a ramp inclined at an angle θ = 30°. At the bottom of the ramp, the block has speed v0 = 4.0 m/s. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and ramp µK = 0.18. (a) How far up the ramp does the block slide? (b) Assume that the block comes to rest and does not slide back down the ramp. What must be the minimum coefficient of static friction between the block and ramp?
A block is being pushed with a force of 10 N at a downward angle of 60 degrees below the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction is 0.6. Is this enough to make a block of 800 g move?
