- At what initial speed should a box of mass m be thrown parallel to the surface of the inclined plane from the lower end of an inclined plane with friction making a 30 degree angle with the horizontal direction so that it can travel 3m on the inclined plane? (The kinetic coefficient of friction between the box and the surface of the inclined plane is mk = 0.02.)arrow_forwardA brick of mass m is initially at rest at the peak of an inclined plane which has a height of 5.52m and has an angle of θ=20.3∘ with respect to the horizontal. After it has been released, it is found to be traveling at v=0.84m/s a distance d after the end of the inclined plane, as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the brick and the plane is μp=0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr=0.2. What is the speed of the brick, in meters per second, just after it leaves the inclined plane? Find the distance, d, in meters.arrow_forwardA skier is on a 25 degree slope and his mass is 80kg.
