Feeling lazy, John tries to slide a box 3.5 m across the floor to his co-worker. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is u=0.20, what initial speed should John give the box for it to just make it (i.e. it will have a speed of 0 m/s when it reaches his co-worker)? Assume the floor is level. Round your answer to the first decimal place.

1. You are conducting an experiment to find the kinetic coefficienct of friction between a 5kg box and a ramp. The ramp has an angle of 25° above the horizontal. You start the box from rest. release it. and let it slide down the ramp. a) If the box starts at a height of 1 meter above the ground. what is the theo- retical value of its velocity at the bottom of the ramp? b) When you do the experiment, you find that the experimental value of the final velocity is 3.5 m/s. How much mechaical energy was “lost”? c) Assume that all of the mechanical energy 'lost' in part b) was due to Friction. Draw a free-body diagram. and determine the magnitude of the Normal Force acting on the box. d) Using the Normal force, determine the co-efficient of friction between the box and the ramp, if the system lost the amount of energy you caculated in part b). Hint: Use the work done by friction.

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

When the 150-lb skier is at point A he has a speed of 5 ft/s. When the skier reaches point B on the smooth slope, the slope follows the cosine curve shown in (Figure 1). Suppose that y(x)=75cos(π/100x). Neglect friction and air resistance. Part A: Determine the skier's speed when he reaches point B on the smooth slope. Express your answer in feet per second to three significant figures. Part B: Also, what is the normal force on the skier's skis at BB? Express your answer in pounds to three significant figures. Part C: What is the skier's rate of increase in speed at BB? Express your answer in feet per second squared to three significant figures.
