Find the coefficient of friction between a 73 kg cubic box measuring 3 m and a hardwood floor 16 m long and 20 m wide if a total of 236 N is required to start the box moving.
A block of mass m is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane, which has a height of 4.2 m and makes an angle θ = 17° with respect to the horizontal. After sliding down the ramp, the brick is observed to be moving at v = 0.95 m/s at a distance d from the end of the inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2.
1. what is the speed of block, in meters per second, just after it leaves the inclined plane
2. find the distance, d, in meters
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?
