Chapter 6, Problem 52EAP
It’s a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 30° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 60 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 75 N. What answer will you give?

- Sammy is doing a strength testing session on the turf in preparation for the upcoming basketball season. Sammy's mass is 55 kg and she is trying to push a 105 kg sled across the artificial turf outside on Raymond Field. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and the turf is 0.3. If Sammy pushes only horizontally against the sled, how much force must she push with to just initiate movement of the sled?arrow_forwardA car has a mass of 1750 kg.

A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway.

What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of Tim's birthday gift and the driveway?arrow_forward
- You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 21°. You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is on the edge of the roof, 5.5 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.5 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.54, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof? Express your answer with the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) v = μA Value Submit Units ?arrow_forwardA car with a mass of 1500 kg is being towed by a rope held at a 20° angle to the horizontal.

- A large block of ice is being pulled across a frozen lake. The block of ice has a mass of 300 kg. The coefficient of friction between two ice surfaces is small: μk = 0.05. What is the force of friction that is acting on the block of ice?arrow_forwardA boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). What is the horizontal acceleration of the box if friction is negligible (too small to make a noticeable difference)?arrow_forwardTwo workers are sliding a 300 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 380 N while the other pulls in the same direction with a force of 350 N using a rope connected to the crate. Both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. What is the crate’s coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor?arrow_forward
