Someone always park a car on an inclined plane drive way. On snow, when she
parked the car, the car start rolling because there is very small force of friction
between the tire the snow. In this problem, please neglect any force of friction
between the tire and the snow. Suppose the ramp makes an angle of 0 = 20.0
degree. (a) Determine the acceleration of the car (b) If the length of the incline plane
is 25.0 m and the car starts from rest at the top, how long does it take to travel to
the bottom? (c) What is the car's speed at the bottom?
A machine at a post office sends packages out a chute and down a ramp to be loaded into delivery vehicles. (a) Calculate the acceleration of a box heading down a 10.0° slope, assuming the coefficient of friction for a parcel on waxed wood is 0.100. (b) Find the angle of the slope down which this box could move at a constant velocity. You can neglect air resistance in both parts.
Using a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds 387 N, you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing 441 N from a
point 7.50 m above the ground. (a) What magnitude of the bundle's acceleration will put the rope on the verge of snapping? (b) At that
acceleration, with what speed would the bundle hit the ground?
