A block with a mass m is pushed up an inclined rough surface by a horizontal force F as shown. If the block is being pushed up at a constant speed, find the magnitude of the applied force F, given that theta =35 degrees , m = 5 kg, and the kinetic frictional coefficient between the block and the inclined surface mu_k = 0.2
At a post office, a parcel that is an m kg box slides down a ramp inclined at an angle θ with the horizontal, as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is μK, and the coefficient of static friction for the same is μS. Notice that the coordinate axes have been chosen with the x axis directed up the incline, as shown. Enter a numeric answer for the magnitude of the acceleration in meters per squared seconds when the angle of the incline is 21° and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.055. Kinematics may help you here.

The drag force exerted on a car by air depends on a dimensionless drag coefficient, the density of air, the car velocity, and the frontal area of the car. That is, FD = function (CDrag, Afront, r, V). Based on unit considerations alone, obtain a relation for the drag force.

a paratrooper survived a training jump from 1200 ft when his parachute failed to open but provided some resistance by flapping in the wind. Allegedly he hit the ground at 100 mi/h after falling for 10 seconds. you should first find the drag coefficient gamma, assuming a terminal velocity of 100 mi/h and also that the deceleration of the paratrooper due to air resistence is proportional to his velocity, with constant of proportionality gamma. gamma=? Next find the distance D fallen in 10 seconds. D=?
Show that the acceleration of any object down an incline where friction behaves simply (that is, where fk=μkN)fk=μkN) is a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ).a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ). Note that the acceleration is independent of mass and reduces to the expression found in the previous problem when friction becomes negligibly small (μk=0).(μk=0).
