- A cookie jar is moving up a 42 ° incline. At a point 56 cm from the bottom of the incline (measured along the incline), the jar has a speed of 1.2 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between jar and incline is 0.17. (a) How much farther up the incline will the jar move? (b) How fast will it be going when it has slid back to the bottom of the incline? (c) Do the answers to (a) and (b) increase, decrease, or remain the same if we decrease the coefficient of kinetic friction (but do not change the given speed or location)?

The track is frictionless until the block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The block's initial speed is vo = 6.3 m/s, the height difference is h = 0.96 m, and Hk = 0.612. Find d. H = 0- Number Unitsarrow_forward8arrow_forward
- Please use conservation of energy (kinetic and gravitational potential energy) to solve this problem. A 1.5-kg block initially at rest at the top of a 3-m incline with a slope of 30° begins to slide down the incline. The upper half of the incline is frictionless, while the lower half is rough, with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.3. (a) How fast is the block moving midway along the incline, before entering the rough section? (b) How fast is the block moving at the bottom of the incline?arrow_forwardA toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.4-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gun is 17 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.034 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 6.1 cm for this launch? (Assume the projectile is in contact with the barrel for the full 17 cm.)arrow_forward9. A 35.0-kg block slides down a surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.250. It is released from rest at the top of an incline (38.0° to the horizontal) at a height 10.0 meters. What is its speed at the bottom of the incline? 10=arrow_forward

- A 1.5-kg box is released from rest on a frictionless surface that is sloped at θ = 35◦ above the horizontal.After sliding 1.0 m down the slope, the box transitions smoothly to a rough, horizontal surface, slides forsome distance, and then comes to a stop. If the coefcient of kinetic friction between the box and thehorizontal surface is 0.12, how far along the horizontal surface does the box travel?arrow_forwardAs shown in the figure below, a 2.25 kg block is released from rest on a ramp of height h. rough patch. mummy 15.0 cm When the block is released, it slides without friction to the bottom of the ramp, and then continues across a surface that is frictionless except for a rough patch of width 15.0 cm that has a coefficient of kinetic friction k = 0.710. Find h (in m) such that the block's speed after crossing the rough patch is 3.20 m/s. (Enter a number.) m tarrow_forward
