Mary and her sister are playing with a cardboard box on the neighborhood hill. Mary climbs into the box, the total mass of the box with Mary in it is 115 kg. The box starts at rest at the beginning of the incline. The hill is at an incline of 28 degrees with respect to the horizontal.The static and kinectic friction between the box and hill is 0.4 and 0.2 respectively. Assume that Mary is now in the box, but has not started to move.
a. What is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the box?b. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the box and child system?c. Will the box slide down the hill, or stay at rest?
In the back of the truck is a 200kg box that has a coefficient of static friction of 0.8 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.4 between the truck and the box. You are driving on the freeway at 25m/s. There is a car ahead of you that is driving at 30m/s. Your front bumper is 30m behind the back of the first car. You would like to pass the other car and pull back into the same lane when your back bumper is 10m ahead of the front bumper of the first car in 5 seconds. The length of the car ahead of you is 3m and the length of your car is 4m.a) What minimum acceleration do you need to do this?b) What distance does your car travel in that time?c) Does the box in your truck start to slide off the truck?
A block of mass 4.20 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes an angle of θ = 50.0°angle with the horizontal as shown below. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.270.

- You are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall. Your friend is helping you so that the ladder does not collapse by exerting a force FAL at an angle ϕ relative to the horizontal. The ladder has a length L and makes an angle of θ with respect to the vertical wall. You have a mass, mY, and are a horizontal distance x from the wall. The ladder has a mass of mL. Because the wall is slick, and the ice on the floor is slick, the frictional forces acting on the ladder are negligible. Find a formula for the magnitude of the force that your friend must exert to keep the ladder from falling, in terms of the following variables: x,L,mY,mL,θ,ϕ. Then use the following values to get a number for the magnitude of FAL θ = 34.4 degreesϕ = 26.144 degreesx = 1.612 metersL = 6.2 metersmY = 98.0 kgmL = 32.34 kgarrow_forwardC A Force Of Constant Magnitude X Bb Chapter 8 - 202120:22987 C x Ner 7.2 HW - PHYS 1301 Spr x = 7.5 Nonconservative Forces - Col x A webassign.net/web/Student/Assignment-Responses/submit?dep325336738&tags=autosave#question3572590 5 A force of constant magnitude pushes a box up a vertical surface, as shown in the figure.
