Additional Integrated Problems
20. You go to the playground and slide down the slide, a 3.0-m- long ramp at an angle of 40° with respect to horizontal. The pants that you’ve worn aren't very slippery; the coefficient of kinetic friction between your pants and the slide is μk = 0.45. A friend gives you a very slight push to get you started. How long does it take you to reach the bottom of the slide?

1) A man pushes a 20.0 kg lawn mower with a force of 80.0 N directed along the handle, which is inclined at 30.0° to the horizontal as shown in the figure below. (a) If he moves at constant velocity, what is the impeding force due to the ground? (b) What force along the handle would produce an acceleration of 1.25 m/s' given the same impeding force?

3. Here is a problem that beautifully illustrates why we want this new approach.
Problem: A mass of 3 kg is placed on a 600 that has a coefficient of 0.2. (Since the mass will be moving this is kinetic friction...) What is the resulting acceleration of the mass? The mass will then travel down the incline for 0.5 m until it reaches the bottom of the incline. How fast will the mass be traveling at the bottom of the incline? The mass will then slide across the floor (which is level). How far will it slide before coming to rest?
5.4 Problem #31
Picture of (a) is attatched
(b) part of question asks "Then use Newton's Second Law of Motion (force=mass×acceleration) and the substitution u=v(t) to evaluate the integral
