A slanted roof rises at 35° above the horizontal, and the straight-line distance from the top of the roof to the bottom edge is 4.5 m. The roof is covered with ice, so it offers no friction to objects sliding on it. A piece of ice at the top suddenly breaks loose and begins to slide down from rest. (a) How long will it take for the ice to reach the bottom edge of the roof? (b) How fast will the ice be traveling just as it reaches the bottom edge

A 2.0 kg piece of wood slides on a curved surface . The sides of the surface are perfectly smooth, but the rough horizontal bottom is 30 m long and has a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.20 with the wood. The piece of wood starts from rest 4.0 m above the rough bottom. (a) Where will this wood eventually come to rest? (b) For the motion from the initial release until the piece of wood comes to rest, what is the total amount of work done by friction?
In a "crazy elevator ride" at the amusement park, a 300 kg "elevator car" slides vertically down a frictionless shaft and curves onto a horizontal section, descending a total height of 25 m. On the horizontal section is a friction pad designed to bring the car to rest. If the coefficient of friction between the car and the pad is μk=0.4, how long in meters does the pad need to be to stop the car?

A driver in a 2290-kg car car traveling at 42.7 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the horizontal road is 0.735, how long will the skid marks be? (in meters)
A crate is pushed up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed of 4 m/s. The angle of incline is 30 degrees. (a) What is its speed when it gets back to the bottom? (b) How far up the plane does the block go? (c) How long does it take to get there?
A box of mass 15.4 kg is slid along the floor. The initial speed of the box is 2 m/s and it comes to rest after 9.2 m. What was the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the box during this motion? You must enter you answer and include the SI units. (For example: 3.0kg)
Sue gets up on the roof to clean off the leaf litter. Upon trying to get back down the ladder, she gets scared and doesn't think she can go down that way. She contemplates jumping off the roof, but has heard that is unsafe. If the roof is 10 feet high and she has a mass of 68.1 kg, how fast would she be going when she hit the ground if she jumped? State your answer in mi/hr.
An object of the weight of an object W= 3.2N is released from rest at the top of the inclined plane below. What is the velocity of the block at the bottom if the plane has uk=0.33? answer must be in m/s (3 decimal places)
Keep the track tilted at 14° with the horizontal. Put the friction block on the track surface at the top of the track. Let the friction block slide downwards. The length of the track is 65 cm. Starting from zero speed at the top of the track, what will be the speed of the friction block as it reaches the bottom? Write your answer in m/s. Use u = 0.12 and mass of the friction block = 400 grams.
This problem concerns a weight suspended from the ceiling by a spring. (See the figure below.) Let d be the distance in centimeters from the ceiling to the weight. When the weight is motionless, d = 10. If the weight is disturbed, it begins to bob up and down, or oscillate. Then d is a periodic function of t, time in seconds, so d = f(t). d (cm) 15 10 t (sec) 3.0 0.0 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 Determine the midline, period, amplitude, and the minimum and maximum values of f from the graph. Interpret these quantities physically; that is, use them to describe the motion of the weight. ell
Gayle runs at a speed of 3.20 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is med ocum 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 49.5 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.45 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg. m/s Need Help? Read It gy
A small block sits at one end of a flat board that is 4.00 m long. The coefficients of friction between the block and the board are μs= 0.450 and μ = 0.400. The end of the board where the block sits is slowly raised until the angle the board makes with the horizontal is α0, and then the block starts to slide down the board. If the angle is kept equal to α0 as the block slides, what is the speed of the block when it reaches the bottom of the board? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
