Emma and Katie are racing along in their new wagon. Upon reaching the bottom of the hill traveling at 13.2 m/s, Katie notices her teddy bear 12.0 m in front of them, panics and locks the brakes sending the wagon into a skid. If the wagon and its contents have a total mass of 1.50 x10^1 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the rubber wagon tires is (0.75), by how much does the wagon miss the bear

You are pushing a metal crate against a metal floor. The two surfaces have a static coefficient of friction of 0.62 and a kinetic coefficient of friction of 0.50. The floor is horizontal, and the crate has a mass of 25.0 kg. What is the minimum force you need to apply to get the crate moving from rest? Give your answer in units of N, to three significant figures.
You have devised an experiment to measure the kinetic coefficient of friction between a ramp and a mass. You place the mass on the ramp at an angle high enough that the mass starts sliding. You measure the time it takes to fall down a known distance. The time it takes to fall down the 45 degree ramp starting from a standstill is At = 0.46 sec, m=1 kg, and the distance it falls, Ax , is 0.5 m. What is µk? m Дх in At Uk
A 0.30 kg puck is being pushed across a table with a horizontal force of 2.0 N. It starts from rest and is pushed for 13 seconds, ending with a speed of 1 m/s. Calculate the coefficient of friction μk between the puck and the table.
A 28.0-kg block is connected to an empty 2.26-kg bucket by a cord running over a frictionless pulley. The coefficient of static friction between the table and the block is 0.48 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and the block is 0.25. Sand is gradually added to the bucket until the system just begins to move. Ignore the mass of the cord. Calculate the mass of sand added to the bucket. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. m= _______ units Calculate the acceleration of the system. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. a= _________ units
A block of mass m =2.2 kg slides on the ground. At the start of the slide, the velocity of the block is v = 3.1 m/s. Then the block comes to rest. We observe that the block slides for s =2.7 m before coming to rest. Assuming that only kinetic friction force acts on the lock when we observe the motion, what is the kinetic friction coefficient between the block and the ground?
You are driving through the Ouachita Mountains at 12m/s. You see a maple-leaf oak (Quercus acerifolia) crossing the road and hit the brakes, 20m away. The coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the road is μ_k = 0.7. Will you strike this endangered broadleaf? Justify your answer with a calculation.Your final answer should be the distance you will travel before coming to a stop.
A box of mass 7.3 kg is slid along the floor. The initial speed of the box is 6 m/s and it comes to rest after 8.5 m. What was the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the box during this motion?
You are driving a car at a constant speed of 14.0 m/s along a straight level road. As you approach anintersection, the stoplight turns red and you slam on breaks and the wheels lock and you skid to a stop in25.0 m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the road?
A 10 kg box is being pushed across a rough surface with a constant speed of 2 m/s. The person pushing the box slips and stops pushing. The box continues to slide across the surface before coming to rest. If the coefficient of friction between the crate and the surface is 0.1, how far does the box travel before coming to rest?
A desperate hiker has to think fast to help his friend who has fallen below him. Quickly, he ties m, a rope to a rock of mass m, = 3.90 x 10? kg and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is µs = 0.283, and the mass of the hiker is m, = 70.1 kg, what is the maximum mass of the friend m; that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope passes over the ledge is frictionless. kg II
Mary applies a force of 77 N to push a box with an acceleration of 0.55 m/s2. When she increases the pushing force to 85 N, the box's acceleration changes to 0.71 m/s2. There is a constant friction force present between the floor and the box. (a) What the mass of the box in kilograms? kg (b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the box?
