Before 1960, people believed that the maximum attainable coefficient of static friction for an automobile tire on a roadway was μs = 1. Around 1962, three companies independently developed racing tires with coefficients of 1.6. This problem shows that tires have improved further since then. The shortest time interval in which a piston-engine car initially at rest has covered a distance of one-quarter mile is about 4.43 s. (a) Assume the car’s rear wheels lift the front wheels off the pavement as shown. What minimum value of μs is necessary to achieve the record time? (b) Suppose the driver were able to increase his or her engine power, keeping other things equal. How would this change affect the elapsed time?
You are pushing a metal crate against a metal floor. The two surfaces have a static coefficient of friction of 0.62 and a kinetic coefficient of friction of 0.50. The floor is horizontal, and the crate has a mass of 25.0 kg. What is the minimum force you need to apply to get the crate moving from rest? Give your answer in units of N, to three significant figures.
A 5.0 g coin is placed 15 cm from the center of a turntable. The coin has static and kinetic coefficients of friction with the turntable surface of μs = 0.70 and μk = 0.50. The turntable very slowly speeds up.

It's so heavy that they had to push it across their carpeted floor since it was too heavy to lift. The item weighs 92.3 kg and it's packaged in cardboard. The coefficient of friction between the cardboard and their carpet is 0.71. They're a team, and they all push the huge package across their living room at a constant speed. How much collective force do they have to use to push the package across the living room at a constant speed of 0.07m / s Use the approximation g = 10m / (s^ 2)arrow_forwardStudents are performing an experiment with the setup shown above, where a block of mass M sits on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is μk. The block is connected to a hanging object over a pulley. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. The string connecting the two is very light and does not stretch. The students add mass to the hanging object so that its mass is m, where m < M, and the block-hanging object system is released from rest. The hanging object falls for a distance h, at which point it collides with the ground and comes to rest. The block on the table keeps sliding and travels a total distance d before coming to rest. It does not reach the pulley, and d > h. During this experiment does the angular momentum of the block-hanging object system about an axis through the center of the pulley remain constant?
