The Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake is an annual event held in England where a wheel of cheese is rolled down a hill while people chase after it competing on who can catch it first. If the hill has a height of 69.6 m and the cheese starts at rest, what is the cheese’s velocity at the bottom of the hill? Ignore friction

A box is projected upward onto a ramp that has a 15 degree incline. I know knows that it starts with an initial velocity of 8 m / s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.12. Determine the following: a. The distance the box will travel on the ramp. b. The speed of the box when it returns to its original position.
We often think of friction and air resistance as forces that we want to minimize because they can hinder the motion of an object. But they are not always undesirable, and in fact, can be an essential element in a machine or process. Identify one or two applications that depend on friction and air resistance. Explain how friction or air resistance works in those situations and what would happen if there were no friction or air resistance. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length and is due on Sunday.
Manny Pacquiao's automobile is about to come closer to a barrier at a speed of 25 m/s along a level road. He locks the brakes at a distance of 40 m from the barrier. What minimum coefficient of kinetic friction is required to stop the automobile before it hits the barrier? 0.2 0.4 0.8 0.5
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?

A 1000kg sports car was loaded onto a trailer-truck. The trailer then speeds away without the sports car sliding. If the coefficient of static friction between the flatbed of the truck and the sports car is 0.22, what is the maximum acceleration that the truck can undergo without the sports car slipping?
Given the graph of position vs time (picture), draw appropriate graph of acceleration vs time. The graphs should be numerically correct, and the work for the values obtained must be shown.
A hockey puck with a mass of 0.2 kg is sliding along ice that can be considered frictionless with a velocity of 10 m/s. The puck then crosses over onto a rough floor that has a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to 0.2, how far will the puck travel before friction stops it? The correct answer is 25 m.
