During your winter break, you enter a sled race. You push the sled with a force of 210 N at 30.0° below the horizontal as shown. The mass of the sled (and your nephew sitting on it) is 35.0 kg. The coefficients of friction between the sled and icy surface are us = 0.35 and uk = 0.20. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the sled, in m/s2? Use g = 10.0 m/s?. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
The 50-kg crate is projected along the floor with an initial speed of A m/s at x = 0. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. Calculate the time required for the crate to come to rest and the corresponding distance x traveled. A is the last digit of your student number replacing any 0 with 10. For example, if your student number is 400027581 then A = 1, if your student number is 400027580 then A = 10, etc.
The coefficient of static friction between the tires of a car and a horizontal road is 0.2. If the net force on the car is the force of static friction exerted by the road, what is the maximum acceleration of the car when it is braked? The acceleration clue to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 . Answer in units of m/s^2. What is the shortest distance in which the car can stop if it is initially traveling at 30 m/s? Answer in units of m.
