We watch as a 4.0 kg block slides along a level table which has a kinetic friction of 0.37. Draw a force diagram for the block during the slide, determine the normal force, and use it to find the deceleration of the block while sliding.

A rope is attached to Box A, and it is pulled on a rough surface due east with friction. The mass of Box A is 50 kg, and the tension force applied to the box is 100 N due east. If Box A is pulled by the tension force for 4.0 s, and the velocity changes from 0.1 m/s due east to 0.65 m/s due east during the time Box A is pulled, answer the following questions.  (a) What is the acceleration of Box A during the time it is pulled?  (b) What is the change in kinetic energy of Box A during the time it is pulled?  (c) What is the net work done on Box A by the tension force and the frictional force together? (d) What is the work done on Box A by the tension force alone?  (e) What is the work done on Box A by the frictional force alone?

A man wants to move a heavy wooden crate (82 kg) across a wooden floor.  However, since he is taller than the crate, he must pull it using a rope that makes an angle of 42 degrees with the horizontal.  He exerts a force of 312 N as he pulls.  What is the Normal Force exerted by the floor on the crate? What is the size of the Friction Force felt by the crate, if the crate moves at a constant speed in a straight line? Imagine that instead the floor is more slick, so that the crate feels a friction force half of what you calculated above.  What is the crate’s acceleration?

A book slides across a level, carpeted floor with an initial speed of 3.85 m/s and comes to rest after 3.75 m. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction μ between the book and the carpet. Assume the only forces acting on the book are friction, weight. and the normal force. H =
