Question
A boy coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching a level surface at the bottom with a speed of 7.0 m/s. If the coefficient of friction between the sled’s runners and the snow is 0.050 and the boy and sled together weigh 600 N, how far does the sled travel on the level surface before coming to rest?

She doesn't drive the car often because it's becoming an antique, but she took it out for a gentle drive yesterday. While driving, she has to suddenly and forcefully brake when the light turned red. She probably shouldn't have been texting and driving! Her car (mass = 1.31x10³ kg) skids to a stop with an acceleration of m/s². Use the approximation g = 10 m/s².arrow_forward

- The century-old ascensores in Valparaiso, Chile, are small cable cars that go up and down the steep hillsides. As (Figure 1) shows, one car ascends as the other descends. The cars use a two-cable arrangement to compensate for friction; one cable passing around a large pulley connects the cars, the second is pulled by a small motor. Suppose the mass of each car (with passengers) is 1400 kgkg, the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.030, and the cars move at constant speed. Figure 1 of 1The figure shows two cable cars at a 35 degrees incline. A lower car is connected to a cable, which is fed through a pulley uphill. From the pulley the cable runs to the second car down the hill. From the second car another cable runs uphill to a motor. The lower car moves downhill while the upper car moves uphill.
