A sleigh is being pulled horizontally by a train of horses at a constant speed of 8.05 m/s. The magnitude of the normal force exerted by the snow-covered ground on the sleigh is 6.37 103 N. a. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleigh and the ground is 0.23, what is the magnitude of the kinetic friction force experienced by the sleigh? b. If the only other horizontal force exerted on the sleigh is due to the horses pulling the sleigh, what must be the magnitude of this force?
A 129 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is ls = 0.23. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s?) of the crate?

A crate of mass 55.6kg is being transported on the flatbed of a pickup truck. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the trucks flatbed is 0.330, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.320. The truck barely exceeds this acceleration and then moves with constant acceleration, with the crate sliding along its bed. What is the acceleration of the crate relative to the ground?
A hunter is pulling his sled 45 kg in mass behind him on snow. He exerts a pull of 170 N in magnitude and at 21 degrees above the horizontal to ensure he could move at a constant acceleration through the snow-covered land. The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.43. What is the hunter's acceleration (could be positive or negative)?
In a movie, a stuntman places himself on the vertical front of a truck as the truck accelerates. The coefficient of static friction between the stuntman and the truck is 0.370. The stuntman is not standing on anything but can “stick” to the front of the truck as long as the truck continues to accelerate. What minimum forward acceleration will keep the stuntman on the front of the truck?
