A block is sliding down a ramp at an angle of 0 = 29° to the horizontal. Its initial speed is 1.2 m/s. After sliding 11.9 m along the ramp, it comes to a rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction, uk, between the block and the ramp? Ꮎ
A parachutist whose mass is 90 kg drops from a helicopter hovering 1500 m above the ground and falls toward the ground under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist, with the proportionality constant b₁ = 20 N-sec/m when the chute is closed and b₂ = 100 N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the parachutist reaches 35 m/sec, after how many seconds will the parachutist reach the ground? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/sec². The parachutist will reach the ground after (Round to two decimal places as needed.) seconds.

You are given the job of moving a refrigerator with a mass of 1.8 x 102 kg across a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.45. Calculate the magnitude of the minimum force that is required just to set the refrigerator into motion.
A 132 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is µs = 0.24. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s²) of the crate?

looking at a ski slope, the length of the slope is 10.00x10^2m and the top of the slope is at an angle of 8.00 degrees relative to the horizontal. Once the slope has ended the skier continues along a level horizontal before stopping. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.090 on both the slope and the straight horizontal section. What is the distance that the man travels on this horizontal section, assuming that the man started from the rest at the top of the slope.
A woman pushes a 10.0 kg box across a horizontal floor with a constant force of magnitude 40.0 N directed at an angle of -25° with respect to the positive x-axis. The box moves horizontally to the right. At the origin (x=0) the box has an initial speed of 4.00 m/s and the woman pushes it to a location ofx=3.00 m. what is the force of the woman? what is the force of gravity? what is the normal force of the floor?
A mover has to move a heavy sofa of mass 118 kg to the second floor of the house. He uses a rope to pull the sofa up a ramp from the first to the second floor. As he pulls the sofa he makes sure that the rope is parallel to the surface of the ramp which is at 30.0° to the horizontal. If friction between the sofa and the ramp is negligible, and the sofa has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s2, find the tension in the rope (in N). N
A man wants to move a heavy wooden crate (82 kg) across a wooden floor. However, since he is taller than the crate, he must pull it using a rope that makes an angle of 42 degrees with the horizontal. He exerts a force of 312 N as he pulls. What is the Normal Force exerted by the floor on the crate? What is the size of the Friction Force felt by the crate, if the crate moves at a constant speed in a straight line? Imagine that instead the floor is more slick, so that the crate feels a friction force half of what you calculated above. What is the crate’s acceleration?
Suppose that Zak's younger cousin, Greta, sees him sliding across the hall and takes off her shoes so that she can slide as well (assume her socks have the coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.250). Instead of getting a running start, she asks Zak to give her a push. So, Zak pushes her with a force of 125 N over a distance of 1.00 m. If her mass is 20.0 kg, what distance d does she slide after Zak's push ends? Remember that the frictional force acts on Greta during Zak's push and while she is sliding after the push.
