The coefficient of static friction between a sled and the snow is 0.19, with a coefficient of dynamic friction of 0.16. A 25-kg girl sits on her sled facing down a 10-degree hill. What is the minimum push her friend needs to exert to start moving down the hill? After getting a push, does she continue to slide down the hill? Explain.

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.
A 9.00-kg hanging object is connected by a light, inextensible cord over a light, frictionless pulley to a 5.00-kg block that is sliding on a flat table (Fig. P5.7). Taking the coefficient of kinetic friction as 0.200, find the tension in the string. Figure P5.7
If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.
A flat cushion of mass m is released from rest at the corner of the roof of a building, at height h.
