A 1370-kg car is skidding to a stop along a horizontal surface. The car decelerates from 27.6 m/s to a rest position in 3.15 seconds. Assuming negligible air resistance, determine the coefficient of friction between the car tires and the road surface.
A car can accelerate at -3.80 m/s2 without skidding when coming to rest on a level road. What would it's deceleration be if the the road is inclined at 9.7 degrees and the car moves uphill? Assume the same static friction coefficient. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A box with mass m sits at the bottom of a long ramp thatis sloped upward at an angle a above the horizontal. You give the boxa quick shove, and after it leaves your hands it is moving up the rampwith an initial speed v0. The box travels a distance d up the ramp andthen slides back down. When it returns to its starting point, the speedof the box is half the speed it started with; it has speed v0 /2. What isthe coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp? (Youranswer should depend on only a.)

When you do a chin-up, you raise your chin just over a bar (the chinning bar), supporting yourself with only your arms. Typically, the body below the arms is raised by about 30 cm in a time of 1.0 s, starting from rest. Assume that the entire body of a 680-N person doing chin-ups is raised by 30 cm, and that half the 1.0 s is spent accelerating upward and the other half accelerating downward, uniformly in both cases. Draw a free-body diagram of the person’s body, and use it to find the force his arms must exert on him during the accelerating part of the chin-up. Show complete solution.
