- A car of mass m = 1100 kg is traveling down a θ = 11 degree incline. When the car's speed is v0 = 15 m/s, a mechanical failure causes all four of its brakes to lock. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road is μk = 0.45. 1.Write an expression for the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction, fk. 2.Write an expression for the magnitude of the change in the car's height, h, along the y-direction, assuming it travels a distance L down the incline. 3.Calculate the distance the car travels down the hill L in meters until it comes to a stop at the end.arrow_forwardIn the figure, a stuntman drives a car (without negative lift) over the top of a hill, the cross section of which can be approximated by a circle of radius R = 284 m.

The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the puck and the ramp are µs = 0.40 and µk = 0.30, respectively, and the puck's initial velocity at the base is 3.8 m/s parallel to the sloping surface of the ramp. What speed does the puck have when it slides back down to its starting point?arrow_forward
- You are the physics consultant working on an action movie set where an SUV must start from rest, accelerate along a pier, and jump over a stretch of water to land in a departing ferry. (The director assures you it will all be very exciting.) The drawing below shows the situation. The SUV has four-wheel drive (see problem N5D.1), and the coefficients of friction between the tires and the pier’s surface are us =3/4 and uk = 1/2. Calculate the length L (as a fraction or multiple of D) of the run along the pier that you will need for the SUV to make it to the ferry. Ignore air drag.arrow_forwardA 6.00 kg box sits at rest at the bottom of a ramp that is 8.00 mm long and is inclined at 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.40, and the coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.43. What constant force F, applied parallel to the surface of the ramp, is required to push the box to the top of the ramp in a time of 6.00 s? Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardA 60 kg block rests on a rough plane inclined at 30 deg with the horizontal.
