An automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.
A woman uses a rope to pull a block of mass m across a level floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is k. The rope makes an angle with the floor. Find an algebraic expression for the tension in the rope in terms of the parameters listed in the problem and any constants.
