A mass m1= 3kg slides down slippery ramp, reaching a speed v=9 m/s at the bottom.After reaching the level ground m1 collides with mass m2= 4kg at bottom, sticking together in a perfectly inelastic collision. The combined mass then slides over a floor, finally coming to rest after travelling a horizontal distance x= 6m.
a.) What is the force of friction between the combined masses and the floor?
b.) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and masses?
A very hard rubber ball (m = 0.6 kg) is falling vertically at 5 m/s just before it bounces on the floor. The ball rebounds back at essentially the same speed. If the collision with the floor lasts 0.05 s, what is the average force exerted by the floor on the ball?

- Sally wants to hang up some decorations on the side of her house, so she props up a ladder of length L = 3m against a wall at an angle of θ = 50° with respect to the horizontal. The ground is somewhat icy, where the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder’s feet is µ = 0.55; while the wall of her house can be considered frictionless. If Sally has a mass of 60kg and the ladder has a mass of 80kg, what is the max distance that she can climb up the length of the ladder without it slipping? You may assume the ground is perfectly flat, and the wall is perpendicular to the ground.arrow_forwardYou and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 23 ∘ .
