A block of mass 4 kg is pushed with an initial speed of 1.0 m/ s up an inclined plane raised 20° above the horizontal. If the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.3 and 0.1 respectively , how far along the plane does the ball slide before stopping?
Elena dimabato of Anolia, the princess who always cried, has an ugly block with a mass M = 8 kg that slides to the right across a rough horizontal surface with a speed of 4 m/s. There is a light rope which tugs on the block with a force T= 8 N. This is oriented above the horizon which is α = 28°. Moreover, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the ugly block is 0.312. If it moved 1.25 m from its initial position, what is the speed of the block? How far does the ugly block travel, after it stops?
A 75-kg snowboarder has an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s at the top of a 28 degree incline. After sliding down the 110-m-long incline (on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk= 0.17), the snowboarder has attained a velocity v. The snowboarder then slides along a flat surface (on which μk= 0.14) and comes to rest after a distance x.
Determine BOTH the snowboarder's acceleration on the incline AND his acceleration on the flat surface. Then, determine x.

- In Figure, a block with mass m = 1 kg is released from height h1= 12 m. Its path is without friction until it reaches the path with first length d1= 2 m, where the friction force between B and C is fs1= 8 N, and until it reaches the path, where the friction force between E and F is fs2= 6 N. The height is h2=1 m, and second horizontal length is d2= 1 m. The block continues its motion after the point F.(a) Find the velocity at the point A.(b) Find the velocity at the point D.(c) Find the height h if the velocity of m is vF= 8 m/s at the point F.(sin60=0.86 g=9.8 m/s2)arrow_forwardA block with mass m = 14.9 kg slides down an inclined plane of slope angle 18.8o with a constant velocity.

The slope itself is 96 meters long, and the skier starts from rest at the top. What would the velocity of the skier be at the bottom of the incline if friction can be neglected? What would your answer be to the previous question if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.13 on the incline? Upon reaching the bottom of the incline in part b, she reaches a flat portion, and decides to just let friction slow her to a stop. How far does the skier travel along the horizontal portion before coming to a stop, if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.28 on the flat portion?arrow_forward

At this instant your opponent is d = 10.7 m away from the ball. He begins moving away from you 0.300 s later, hoping to reach the ball and hit it back at the moment that it is h = 2.02 m above its launch point. With what minimum average speed must he move?

Since the block is much lighter than the cylinder, ignore tension in the string when calculating the normal force on the cylinder. Do not ignore tension in the string when calculating the net torque (including friction) on the cylinder.arrow_forward
