In a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks. The blocks have identical masses but different coefficients of kinetic friction with a table: μk = 0.2 and 0.8. Each block is launched with speed υi = 1 m/s and slides across the level table as the block comes to rest. This process represents the first two trials. For the next two trials, the procedure is repeated but the blocks are launched with speed υi = 2 m/s. Rank the four trials (a) through (d) according to the stopping distance from largest to smallest. If the stopping distance is the same in two cases, give them equal rank, (a) υi = 1 m/s, μk = 0.2 (b) υi = 1 m/s, μk = 0.8 (c) υi = 2 m/s, μk = 0.2 (d) υi = 2 m/s, μk = 0.8

- Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in Figure 1. The system isreleased from rest while m2 is on the floor and m1 is a distance h above the floor.a) Assuming m1 > m2, find an expression for the speed of m1 just as it reaches the floor.b) Taking m1=6.5 kg, m2=4.2 kg, and h=3.2 m, evaluate your answer to part (a).c) Find the speed of each block when m1 has fallen a distance of 1.6m.arrow_forwardA small block sits at one end of a flat board that is 4.00 m long. The coefficients of friction between the block and the board are μs= 0.450 and μ = 0.400. The end of the board where the block sits is slowly raised until the angle the board makes with the horizontal is α0, and then the block starts to slide down the board. If the angle is kept equal to α0 as the block slides, what is the speed of the block when it reaches the bottom of the board? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardA horizontal force of 80.0 N is applied to a 5.00 kg block as the block slides a distance of 0.800 m along a horizontal floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is 0.500. If the block is initially at rest, how fast is it moving at the end of the displacement?arrow_forward

- Problem B2. A small box of mass m = 1.50 kg starts from rest and glides down a smooth, frictionless hill from a height h = 2.00 m to the base, where it meets a rough plank of mass M = 5.00 kg that is resting on the frictionless horizontal ground surface. Due to the friction between the box and the plank, its speed is reduced until, at a certain moment, it begins to move together with the plank as if they were a single object. M Figure B2.
