A block is sliding along a horizontal surface where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5 between the two. If the block as initial velocity 15.0 m/s, how much time does it take for the block to come to rest?
Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 15000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20000-kg truck moving at 15.0 m/s. Assume the load is not tied down to the truck and has a coefficient of static friction of 0.600 with the truck bed. (a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck. (b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?

You are helping a friend move. Consider two boxes which have masses in factors ofm; one of mass 6m and the other of mass 7m. The coefficient of static friction betweenthe two boxes is very large. The coefficient of static friction between the boxes and thefloor is 0.7 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.1. You place the large box on top ofthe small box and slide them down a 1m high ramp out of the truck. The ramp isfrictionless because it is covered with wheels.
