- A crate of mass 44.0 kg is being transported on the flatbed of a pickup truck. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the truck's flatbed is 0.330, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.150. (a) The truck accelerates forward on level ground. What is the maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the crate does not slide relative to the truck's flatbed? (Give the magnitude of the acceleration.) 3.23 ✓ m/s² (b) The truck barely exceeds this acceleration and then moves with constant acceleration, with the crate sliding along its bed. What is the acceleration of the crate relative to the ground? (Give the magnitude of the acceleration.) 1.97 X Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%.

- When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 965 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1016 N. The mass of the sky diver is 98.5 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign?arrow_forwardIf a 3.10 kg body has an acceleration of 7.20 m/s directed at 38.0° to the positive x axis, what is the x component of the net force acting on the body?arrow_forwardA 140 kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor.
