A uniform board of length L and mass M lies near a boundary that separates two regions. In region 1, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the board and the surface is μ1, and in region 2, the coefficient is μ2. The positive direction is shown in the figure.
Find the net work W done by friction in pulling the board directly from region 1 to region 2. Assume that the board moves at a constant velocity.b Express your answer in terms of M, g, L, μ1, and μ2.
What is the total work done by the external force in pulling the board from region 1 to region 2? (Again, assume that the board moves at constant velocity.)
Express your answer in terms of M, g, L, μ1, and μ2.

- H, Please explain and answer this question for me:thank you! Why does the shape of the ramp not affect the Total Energy in the non-friction case and Why does the shape of the ramp affect the Total Energy in the friction case?arrow_forwardAn archery bow is drawn a distance d = 0.75 m and loaded with an arrow of mass m = 0.067 kg. The bow acts as a spring with a spring constant of k = 195 N/m, and the arrow flies with negligible air resistance. To simplify your work, let the gravitational potential energy be zero at the initial height of the arrow. a. How fast, in meters per second, will the arrow be traveling as it leaves the bow? b. If the arrow is shot at an angle of θ = 45° above the horizontal, how high, in meters above the initial height, will the arrow be when it reaches its peak?arrow_forwardA process occurs in which a system's potential energy decreases while the system does work on the environment. Does the system's kinetic energy increase, decrease, or stay the same? Or is there not enough information to tell? Explain.
