- You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 25 ∘ . You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is at the edge of the roof directly below you, 5.4 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.5 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.50, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?arrow_forwardIt's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 44° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 70 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 71 N. Part A What answer will you give? ΠΙ ΑΣΦ Submit Request Answer ?arrow_forwardI was given this problem, and I don't really know what to do about the fact that the normal force doesn't equal the weight for this problem. How am I supposed to find the kinetic friction coefficient now? A box of mass 2,463g is on level ground being pulled by a force of 6.41N at angle 47.2 above horizontal. If the block is moving with a constant velocity, what is the kinetic friction coefficient? (Hint: the normal force does not always equal the weight; it does not in this case.)arrow_forward
- A student is trying to determine the critical angle (0) at which block will slide down an incline. She knows the coefficient of static friction between the incline and the block is 0.53 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.44. Neglect drag. Hint: One way to solve the problem is to solve for all quantities in terms of m, e and g (but not u), then use f= uN and a trig identity to solve for 0.

- It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient Part A of friction between the sled and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 28 ° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 58 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 72 N. What answer will you give? Submit Request Answerarrow_forwardA box, initially at rest, is pushed up a ramp that makes an angle of 15◦ with the horizontal as shown in the diagram. The magnitude of the pushing force is 8m newtons, where m is the mass of the box in kilograms. The force is in a direction parallel to and up the ramp. The coefficient of sliding friction between the box and the ramp is 0.25. Model the box as a particle and take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.8 m s−2 . Express the four forces in component form in terms of unknown magnitudes where appropriate and find an expression for the resultant force acting on the box. Hence find the magnitude of the acceleration of the box, in m s−2arrow_forwardFigure 1 В А Three blocks, labeled A, B, and C, are connected by essentially massless strings that run over essentially massless and frictionless pulleys (as shown in Figure A above). Block A hangs straight down. The string from block A connects to block B which is sliding up and to the left along an inclined plane. The plane is inclined at an angle of theta = 0 = 52 degrees away from vertical. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block B and the plane is 0.38. Block B is connected by a different string to block C which hangs straight down. Block A has a mass of 4.1 kg. Block B has a mass of 3.7 kg. Block C has a mass of 2.5 kg. Block A is moving down and block C is moving up (the strings do not stretch). The only significant forces acting on the blocks are friction acting on block B, normal forces, tension forces, and gravity (with g = 9.81 m/s²). Calculate the %3D acceleration (in units of meters per second squared) of block A. For block A, a downward acceleration is…arrow_forward
