AP Physics B › Understanding Friction
A man pulls a box up a
incline to rest at a height of
. He exerts a total of
of work. What is the coefficient of friction on the incline?
A 2kg box is at the top of a ramp at an angle of 60o. The top of the ramp is 30m above the ground. The box is sitting still while at the top of the ramp, and is then released.
Imagine that the net force on the box is 16.5N when sliding down the ramp. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction for the box?
A crate is sitting on a rough floor with coefficient of static friction
. A man tries to push the crate horizontally. What force must the man exert on the crate in order to start moving the crate?
A box is initially sitting at rest on a horizontal floor with a coefficient of static friction
. A horizontal pushing force is applied to the box. What is the maximum pushing force that can be applied without moving the box?
A crate is loaded onto a pick-up truck, and the truck speeds away without the crate sliding. If the coefficient of static friction between the truck and the crate is
, what is the maximum acceleration that the truck can undergo without the crate slipping?
