Now, suppose that the curve is level (0 = 0) and that the ice has melted, so that there is a coefficient of static friction u between the road and the car's tires as shown in (Figure 2). What is Umin, the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road required to prevent the car from slipping? Assume that the car's speed is still 60.0 km/hour and that the radius of the curve is 77.9 m .

Suppose the ski patrol lowers a rescue sled and victim, having a total mass of 92.9 kg, down a theta= 79.4º slope at constant acceleration a=-1.7 m/s2, as shown in Figure (here we assume the positive direction is going down the slope. So the given acceleration is a negative value, it means its direction is going up the slope, slowing down as it moving downward). So The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.100. How many Joules of work is done by the tension in the rope as the sled moves 9.1 m along the hill? Use g= 10 m/s2. Your answer for this problem maybe some large number. Just put in the raw number as your answer. For example, 34567.11. But remember you have to specify if the work is positive or negative, if it is negative, you need to input, for example, -34567.11
A 770 kg car, with a 95 kg driver, is driving up a shallow hill of angle theta = 5 degrees directly into a strong headwind. The headwind exerts a force 200 N on the car.
