Josh starts his sled at the top of a 3.0-m-high hill that has a constant slope of 25°. After reaching the bottom, he slides across a horizontal patch of snow. Ignore friction on the hill, but assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between his sled and the horizontal patch of snow is 0.050. How far from the base of the hill does he end up?
A 10 kg box is being pushed across a rough surface with a constant speed of 2 m/s. The person pushing the box slips and stops pushing. The box continues to slide across the surface before coming to rest. If the coefficient of friction between the crate and the surface is 0.1, how far does the box travel before coming to rest?

However, when the ski is moved along the snow, the rubbing warms and partially melts the snow, reducing the coefficient of kinetic friction and promoting sliding.Waxing the ski makes it water repellent and reduces friction with the resulting layer of water. A magazine reports that a new type of plastic ski is especially water repellent and that, on a gentle 200 m slope in the Alps, a skier reduced his top-to-bottom time from 61 s with standard skis to 42 s with the new skis. Determine the magnitude of his average acceleration with (a) the standard skis and (b) the new skis. Assuming a 3.0 slope, compute the coefficient of kinetic friction for (c) the standard skis and (d) the new skisarrow_forward
