In a pickup game of dorm shuffleboard, students crazed by final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallway. If the 2.4 kg book is pushed from rest through a distance of 0.74 m by the horizontal 18 N force from the broom and then has a speed of 2.0 m/s, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and floor?

An automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.
If you press a book flat against a vertical wall with your hand, in what direction is the friction force exerted by the wall on the book? (a) downward (b) upward (c) out from the wall (d) into the wall.
A cake rests in a cardboard box on the horizontal surface of the seat of your car which is traveling at 11 m/s. If the coefficients of friction are µk = 0.3 and µs = 0.5, find the minimum stopping distance necessary to keep the cake box from sliding off the seat.
In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?
A 10 kg-block moves on a smooth horizontal surface with a speed of 10 m/s and slides into another surface that does present friction to its sliding. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and this surface is 0.25, find the distance that the block travels before stopping.
A 200-g hockey puck is launched up a ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle above the horizontal. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the puck and the ramp are µs = 0.40 and µk = 0.30, respectively, and the puck's initial velocity at the base is 3.8 m/s parallel to the sloping surface of the ramp. What speed does the puck have when it slides back down to its starting point?
a 2.5 kg mass is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. Am applied force acts in the + x direction resulting in a displacement of 1.50 m. If the speed of the mass is 4.00 m/s at the 150 m mark and the applied force is 22.0 N, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction?
The crate, which has a mass of 100 kg, is subjected to the action of the forces. If it is originally at rest, determine the distance it slides in order to attain a speed of 6/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the surface is µk=0.2.
A 80.0 kg skater with the Birmingham Bulls hockey team with an initial speed of 7.8 m/s stops propelling himself and begins to coast across the ice, eventually coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the skate blades is 0.100, and air resistance can be neglected. How far will the skater travel before coming to rest?
Tom reached a speed of 29 m/s in the downhill skiing competition. Suppose he left the slope at that speed and then slid freely along a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between his feet and the ground was 0.27 and his final speed was half of his initial speed, find the distance he traveled?
