A ski that is placed on snow will stick to the snow. However, when the ski is moved along the snow, the rubbing warms and partially melts the snow, reducing the coefficient of kinetic friction and promoting sliding.Waxing the ski makes it water repellent and reduces friction with the resulting layer of water. A magazine reports that a new type of plastic ski is especially water repellent and that, on a gentle 200 m slope in the Alps, a skier reduced his top-to-bottom time from 61 s with standard skis to 42 s with the new skis. Determine the magnitude of his average acceleration with (a) the standard skis and (b) the new skis. Assuming a 3.0 slope, compute the coefficient of kinetic friction for (c) the standard skis and (d) the new skis
A crate that weighs w = 110 N is located on a rough surface. When a force Fapplied = 40 N is exerted on the crate the crate does not move. (picture is attached)
(a) Keeping in mind that the crate is not moving, the net force acting on the crate is: Zero
(b) According to your answer for part (a), what must be the frictional force that acts on the crate? f = 40 N
(c) What is the normal force, N, acting on the crate? N =110
(d) When a force Fapplied = 85 N is exerted on the crate, the crate is on the verge of moving? Under this circumstance the crate is experiencing the maximum static frictional force available. If any additional force is applied, the crate will begin to move. What is the frictional force acting on the crate under this condition? (The crate is still not moving but it is just above to move.) f maxs = 85 N
(e) (e) The maximum static static frictional force, f maxs, is related to the coefficient of friction, ?, and the normal force, N, according to the followingmaximum…
A ski that is placed on snow will stick to the snow. However, when the ski is moved along the snow, the rubbing warms and partially
melts the snow, reducing the coefficient of kinetic friction and promoting sliding. Waxing the ski makes it water repellent and reduces
friction with the resulting layer of water. A magazine reports that a new type of plastic ski is especially water repellent and that, on a
gentle 210 m slope in the Alps, a skier reduced his top-to-bottom time from 61.0 s with standard skis to 43.0 s with the new skis.
Determine the magnitude of his average acceleration with (a) the standard skis and (b) the new skis. Assuming a 3.40° slope, compute
the coefficient of kinetic friction for (c) the standard skis and (d) the new skis.
