A box of unknown mass is sliding to the right on a flat floor. Due to kinetic friction, the box decelerates at 1.7 m/s. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

The coefficient of static friction between Teflon and scrambled eggs is about 0.029. What is the smallest angle from the horizontal that will cause the eggs to slide across the bottom of a Teflon-coated skillet?

In the back of the truck is a 200kg box that has a coefficient of static friction of 0.8 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.4 between the truck and the box. You are driving on the freeway at 25m/s. There is a car ahead of you that is driving at 30m/s. Your front bumper is 30m behind the back of the first car. You would like to pass the other car and pull back into the same lane when your back bumper is 10m ahead of the front bumper of the first car in 5 seconds. The length of the car ahead of you is 3m and the length of your car is 4m.a) What minimum acceleration do you need to do this?b) What distance does your car travel in that time?c) Does the box in your truck start to slide off the truck?

You are given the job of moving a refrigerator with a mass of 1.8 x 102 kg across a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.45. Calculate the magnitude of the minimum force that is required just to set the refrigerator into motion.
