A 75.0-g arrow, fired at a speed of 110 m/s to the left, impacts a tree, which it penetrates to a depth of 12.5 cm before coming to a stop. Assuming the force of friction exerted by the tree is constant, what are the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the arrow?
As shown below, if F=60.0Nand M=4.00kg, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the suspended object? All surfaces are frictionless.
A 45.0-kg crate of tools rests on a horizontal floor. You exert a gradually increasinghorizontal push on it and observe that the crate just begins to move when your forceexceeds 313 N. After that you must reduce your push to 208 N to keep it moving at asteady 25.0 cm/s. (a) What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between thecrate and the floor. (b) what push must you exert to give it an acceleration of 1.10 m/s2 ?
You are climbing on a hill that is inclined at 15degrees with the horizontal and you wish tobuild a rope tow to pull yourself up. Ignoring friction, calculate the tension you needed on therope to give your body that has a mass of 45kg a 1.5 m/s^2 acceleration. What if you are toconsider the friction of 100N, what is the value of the tension and coefficient of friction?
At a construction site, a65.0 kg bucket of concrete hangsfrom a light (but strong) cablethat passes over a light, frictionfreepulley and is connected to an80.0 kg box on a horizontal roof. The cable pulls horizontallyon the box, and a 50.0 kgbag of gravel rests on top of thebox. The coefficients of frictionbetween the box and roof areshown. (a) Find the friction forceon the bag of gravel and on the box. (b) Suddenly a worker picks up thebag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucketafter it has descended 2.00 m from rest. (Use Newton’s laws to checkyour answer.)
A 5.00-kg block is placed on top of a 12.0-kg block that rests ona frictionless table. The coefficient of static friction between the twoblocks is 0.600. What is the maximum horizontal force that can beapplied before the 5.00-kg block begins to slip relative to the 12.0-kgblock, if the force is applied to (a) the more massive block and (b) theless massive block? why in this question the force between blocks is not taking into account? Each block affect another one
A box is sliding along a slippery, horizontal floorat a constant speed of 5.0 m/s. It encounters arough patch on the floor. If the coefficient ofkinetic friction between the box and rough patchis 0.5, determine how far the box will travelbefore coming to a stop. The mass of the box is3.5 kg.
A book of mass 6.7 kg is resting on a flat level table. You push down on the book at an angle of 23.5 degrees fromthe horizontal with force of magnitude 433 N. The book starts to slip and is sliding across the table. What is themagnitude of the force of kinetic friction from the table on the book? The coefficient of kinetic friction between thetable and the book is μk = 0.40.
