A box of mass m=12.0 kg is located at the top of a ramp of height h=8.00 m, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the box is µk=0.5. You give the box a push so that it starts sliding down with an initial speed of 3.00 m/s. The box continues its motion on a rough horizontal surface for 5.00 m until it hits a spring of spring constant k=150. N/m and fully compresses it by 50.0 cm and comes to rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the horizontal surface and the box? h 30°

A stone with a weight of 4.89 N is launched vertically from the ground levelwith an initial speed of 15 m/s and the air drag on it is 0.250 N throughout the flight. Find the speed of the stone before it hits the ground.
a mother and her child are skiing together, and the mother is holding the end of a rope tied to the child's waist. They are moving at a speed of 7.2 kph on a gently sloping portion of the ski slope when the morher observes that they are approaching a steep descrnt. She pulls on the rope with an average force of 15 N. Knowing the coefficient of frivtion between the mother and the ground is 0.2, the mass of the mother is 62 kg and the angle of the rope does not change, determine the acceleration of the mother, the time reuired dor the mother's speed to be cut in half, and the distance traveled.
