Why is the following situation impossible? A 1.30-kg toaster is not plugged in. The coefficient of static friction between the toaster and a horizontal countertop is 0.350. To make the toaster start moving, you carelessly pull on its electric cord. Unfortunately, the cord has become frayed from your previous similar actions and will break if the tension in the cord exceeds 4.00 N. By pulling on the cord at a particular angle, you successfully start the toaster moving without breaking the cord.
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.
You are driving a car at a constant speed of 14.0 m/s along a straight level road. As you approach anintersection, the stoplight turns red and you slam on breaks and the wheels lock and you skid to a stop in25.0 m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the road?
After seeing a giant rock rolls into the highway, the driver slams on the brake and steers the truck onto an emergency escape ramp. The angle between the ramp and the horizontal is 0 = 15.0', and the magnitude of the velocity i of the truck is 30.0 m/s right after entering the ramp. If the coefficient of kinetic friction µk (for the ramp) is 0.720, then how far along the ramp does the truck travel until it stops? *Use work-energy theorem to answer this question and assumed that the wheels of the truck are locked (not rolling). *Include a free body diagram to solve this problem.
An athlete pulls a box E of mass m = 70kg down an incline, as shown. The coefficients of friction between the box and the incline are us-0.40 and uk-0.30. Consider particle analysis of the instant when the force used to pull is 300N. Let 8 = 300 and a = 120. Use the indicated coordinate axes. ala E 0 What is the magnitude of the component of the weight PARALLEL to the incline - i.e., along x-axis?
A man pushes a 49 kg block of ice in the positive direction across a frozen lake as shown in the picture. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are μs=0.1 and μk=0.03. calculate the minimum force F he must exert to get the block sliding across the ice in newtons. what is the acceleration in m/s^2 once it starts to move if the minimum force is maintained?
You are a forensic scientists and have called to examine skid marks at a crime scene after a car locked its brakes during emergency breaking, and the car slid along the road. There are ripped off bits of tire and small melted sections of thje road for the skid marks that are 290m long. Assuming that the kinetic friction coefficient is 0.60, you must determine how fast the car was going when the wheels became locked. (Start by drawing a free body diagram for the decelerating car).
