Two students want to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction of leather on oak for an experiment in theirphysics class. They have a block wrapped in leather that weighs 2.2 kg and notice that when they pull the blockwith a spring scale, the maximum force it reaches before Nie block starts to move is 13 N, and after the blockstarts to move the scale reads 11 N.

I was given this problem, and I don't really know what to do about the fact that the normal force doesn't equal the weight for this problem. How am I supposed to find the kinetic friction coefficient now? A box of mass 2,463g is on level ground being pulled by a force of 6.41N at angle 47.2 above horizontal. If the block is moving with a constant velocity, what is the kinetic friction coefficient? (Hint: the normal force does not always equal the weight; it does not in this case.)

The human head can be considered as a3.3-kg cranium protecting a 1.5-kg brain, with a small amount ofcerebrospinal fluid that allows the brain to move a little bit insidethe cranium. Suppose a cranium at rest is subjected to a force of2800 N for 6.5 ms in the forward direction. (a) What is the finalspeed of the cranium? (b) The back of the cranium then collideswith the back of the brain, which is still at rest, and the two movetogether. What is their final speed?
