Concept explainers

Static and Kinetic Friction

Kinetic friction comes into existence when there are moving surfaces means in other words we can say that the force which comes into existing between moving surfaces is known as kinetic friction.

A 1500 kg car starts from rest at the top of the driveway that is sloped at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. An average friction force of 3500 N impedes the car’s motion so that car’s speed at the bottom of the driveway is 4.2 m/s. What is the length of the driveway?
You push a small box so that it starts moving with a speed of 1.0 m/s along a rough table. After 1.0 m, the box reaches the edge of the table and lands on the floor 21 cm from the table edge. The surface of the table is 0.8 m above the floor. Determine the coefficient of friction between the box and the table. Determine the speed of the box at the moment it hits the floor.
The heaviest watermelon weighed in at 159 kg (350.5 lbs.) and was grown by Chris Kent (USA) of Sevierville, Tennessee. Chris releases the watermelon from rest from the top of a 150.0m tall building by a small crane. We neglect air resistance. If needed, use 9.80 m/s2 for the magnitude of g. What is the time it takes to hit the ground after being released and what will be the final impact velocity when it hits the ground? Report answers to 3 sig figs.
Some salvage divers are raising a rectangular box of treasure measuring1m × 1.3m × 1.9m from the bottom of the sea. They are using a cable which can handle a maximum force of 10 000 N without breaking. They raise the treasure from the bottom of the ocean at a constant speed. All goes well while the treasure is rising through the water but much to the despair of the salvors as soon as the treasure is clear of the water the cable breaks, dropping the treasure back into the briny deep. What are the maximum and minimum possible weights of the lost treasure?
