Current Attempt in Progress Multiple-Concept Example 5 reviews many of the concepts that play a role in this problem. An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain that makes an angle of 29.7° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.156. She coasts for a distance of 18.8 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 4.24 m below the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands? Number i Units

You are working as a letter sorter in the Post Office. Postal regulations require that employees’ footwear must have a minimum coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on a specified tile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for which you do not know the coefficient of static friction. In order to determine the coefficient, you imagine that there is an emergency and start running across the room. You have a co-worker time you, and find that you can begin at rest and move 4.23 m in 1.20 s. If you try to move faster than this, your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, does your footwear qualify for the postal regulation?

An Athlete pulls a 20 kilograms crate along Lane A of the storage house. Lane A is a 15m aisle. Using the yellow rope, he exerted an 80N force 15 degrees above the horizontal. suppose the athelete met his coach at the end of the aisle and he added 5kg item on the crate and instructed him to bring the item to next aisle (Lane B) which was also 15m long. Starting from rest, beginning in Lane B, the athelet pulls the crate with 95N force 15 degrees above horizontal using the rope. The athelete reaches the end of the row of Lane B at 2.5 meters per second. Question: How much work is done by the Athelete? What is his change in the kinetic energy of the crate at the end of Lane B? Lastly, how large is the average friction force that had acted on the crate? Please show solution or formula used. Thank you!

A box of mass mb is being blown by a strong steady wind across the level surface of a picnic table. The wind exerts a constant horizontal force of magnitude Fwb. As the block slides it accelerates with a magnitude ab. Assuming that kinetic friction is acting, develop an expression for the coefficient of kinetic friction µk between the box and table. Your final answer should be in terms of mb, Fwb, ab and g.
