Option #2: A roller coaster car is at the top of a huge hill and is at rest briefly. Then it rolls down the track and accelerates as its passengers scream. By the time it is 15.2 meters down the track, it is moving at 2.85 m/s. If the hill has a slope of 10.00°, what is the coefficient of friction between the car and the track? Assume any mass for the roller coaster car.

Two children are pulled on a sled over snow-covered ground. The sled is pulled by a rope that makes an angle of 35° with the horizontal. The children have a combined mass of 45 kg and the sled has a mass of 5.0 kg. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are u, = 0.20 and µ, = 0.15. Calculate the maximum possible force of static friction between the sled and snow. If the tension in the rope is 95 N, will the sled move? Justify your answer.
You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 21°. You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is on the edge of the roof, 5.5 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.5 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.54, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof? Express your answer with the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) v = μA Value Submit Units ?
A 600 kg air conditioner sits on the flat roof of a building. The coefficient of static friction between the roof and the air conditioner is 0.80. A massless rope attached to the air conditioner passes over a massless, frictionless pulley at the edge of the roof. In an effort to drag the air conditioner to the edge of the roof, four 95 kg students hang from the free end of the rope, but the air conditioner refuses to budge. Part A What is the magnitude of the rope tension at the point where it is attached to the air conditioner? Express your answer with the appropriate units. T = Submit Value Request Answer Units ?

Consider the figure shown in the following figure. You are lowering two boxes, one on top of the other, down a ramp by pulling on a rope parallel to the surface of the ramp. Both blocks move with constant velocity of 10.0 [m/s]. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the lower box is 0.555 and the coefficient of static friction between the two boxes is 0.750.1. Write Newton's 2nd law of motion along the x and y directions for both blocks considering their state of motion.2. What are the magnitude and direction of the firctional force on the upper box?3.

A stacked pair of books with masses m1= 2.0 kg (bottom book) and m2 = 1.5 kg (top book) are tossed onto a table. The books strike the table with no vertical velocity and their common horizontal speed is ?o = 0.75 m/s. The kinetic friction coefficient between the bottom book and the table is ?k1=0.45; the kinetic and static friction coefficients between the two books are ?k2=0.3 and ?s2= 0.4. Find the final horizontal position of each book relative to the spot where the stack hits the table.

Problem 2: Princess Peach is competing in a Mario Kart race on Rainbow Road. Rainbow Road has no rails, so Peach has to be careful taking turns to make sure she doesn't fall off. There is a notoriously difficult turn on the track made up of a portion of a circle 120m in diameter. The road is angled at 30°. The track has a friction coefficient of μ = .40. Given that Peach and the car weigh 800 kg. a) Draw a free-body diagram for the car on the road. b) What is the magnitude of the normal force, and what angle does it make with the horizontal? c) Repeat part b for the the friction force d) How fast can Peach take the turn without flying or falling off the track?
In the back of the truck is a 200kg box that has a coefficient of static friction of 0.8 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.4 between the truck and the box. You are driving on the freeway at 25m/s. There is a car ahead of you that is driving at 30m/s. Your front bumper is 30m behind the back of the first car. You would like to pass the other car and pull back into the same lane when your back bumper is 10m ahead of the front bumper of the first car in 5 seconds. The length of the car ahead of you is 3m and the length of your car is 4m.a) What minimum acceleration do you need to do this?b) What distance does your car travel in that time?c) Does the box in your truck start to slide off the truck?
Two roofers are installing a new roof. Bob is sitting on the top of the roof that is angled at 23.5 degrees from the horizontal. Nate is sitting 4.1 m further down the roof. In order to get a box of shingles to Nate, Bob just slides the box directly down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction for the box and roof is 0.5, then with what speed should Bob initially push the box so that it slides to a stop right as it reaches the Nate?
As a van climbs a 35 ° slope at 60 m/s, its driver falls ill and takes his foot off the accelerator pedal. The van stops after 75 m. Since the ill driver cannot use the foot brake and hand brake, the truck starts to move downhill after a moment's stop. After the van slides 40 meters downhill, the driver begins to brake. Since the braking force is 0.5W (W = weight); a- What is the kinetic friction coefficient between the road and the van? b- Calculate the total time it takes until the van comes to the point where the driver got sick while going down the hill. 35°
