- You're standing at the top of a snow-covered hill, sloped at 20.0°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between your sled and the hill is 0.534. Unfortunately, there's a running stream just at the bottom of the hill, and you don't want to get wet. If you and your sled together have a mass of 87.0 kg, with what speed should you push off with to stop just before the stream, 77.0 m down the slope?arrow_forwardYou are a bully. You pin a 48 kg dweeb to a wall so that his feet aren't touching the ground. Your arm is extended so that it makes an angle 28 degrees with the horizontal. The dweeb's back is so sweaty with fear that there is no friction between his back and the wall. What is the magnitude of the force , in N, you must apply to keep the dweeb in equilibrium? (Use g = 10 m/s2) This scenario is represented schematically below. Unfortunately for you, years later the dweeb is your boss and he makes your life miserable.
