A 132 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with
respect to the horizontal. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it
slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
crate and the ramp is µs = 0.24. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s²) of the crate?
A 3.45×103 kg train is stopped at a station. The train must go around a 149 m diameter corner right after it leaves the station. As the train leaves the station it provides a constant forward force of 1.67×103 N. What is the train's acceleration after 5.00 s?
A crate of mass 43 kg is loaded onto the back of a flatbed truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the truck bed is 0.12. What is the maximum acceleration a (in m/s2) the truck can have without the crate sliding off?
