Kinetic friction comes into existence when there are moving surfaces means in other words we can say that the force which comes into existing between moving surfaces is known as kinetic friction.

Textbook Question

Chapter 6, Problem 77GP

A hockey puck of mass m is attached to a string that passes through a hole in the center of a table, as shown in Figure 6-73. The hockey puck moves in a circle of radius r. Tied to the other end of the string, and hanging vertically beneath the table is a mass M. Assuming the tabletop is perfectly smooth, what speed must the hockey puck have if the mass M is to remain at rest?

If a 2.1 kg object is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface and subjected to a 14 N force in the positive x-direction over a distance of 3.73 meters, what will the object’s final speed be? Assume the answer in in m/s.

Two boxes are connected by a rope that passes over a pulley (Figure 6-31). Box #1 is on a ramp inclined at 35° to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and ramp is 0.54. The masses of the boxes are m1 5 2.5 kg and m2 5 5.5 kg. Neglecting the motion of the pulley and assuming that the velocity of each box is in the same direction as its acceleration, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the boxes?

A road heading due east passes over a small hill. You drive a car of mass m at constant speed v over the top of the hill, where the shape of the roadway is well approximated as an arc of a circle with radius R. Sensors have been placed on the road surface there to measure the downward force that cars exert on the surface at various speeds. The table gives values of this force versus speed for your car: Treat the car as a particle. (a) Plot the values in such a way that they are well fitted by a straight line. You might need to raise the speed, the force, or both to some power. (b) Use your graph from part (a) to calculate m and R. (c) What maximum speed can the car have at the top of the hill and still not lose contact with the road?
