Chapter 7, Problem 54P
A bug slides back and forth in a bowl 15 cm deep, starting from rest at the top, as shown in Fig. 7.20. The bowl is frictionless except for a 1.4-cm-wide sticky patch on its flat bottom, where the coefficient of friction is 0.89. How many times does the bug cross the sticky region?

the bottom of the inclined plane.
A semi-trailer is coasting downhill along a mountain highway when its brakes fail. The driver pulls onto a runaway truck ramp that is inclined at an angle of 10.0° above the horizontal. The semi-trailer coasts to a stop after traveling 170 m along the ramp. What was the truck's initial speed? Neglect air resistance and friction.
A 32.0-kg crate, starting from rest, is pulled across a floor with a constant horizontal force of 225 N. For the first 11.0 mm the floor is frictionless, and for the next 10.0 mm the coefficient of friction is 0.20.
