Question 1: A wood crate (m = 200 kg) sits in the back of a truck. The friction coefficients between the crate and the truck are μs = 0.5 and μk = 0.3. a) (8 points) The truck starts moving up a 15◦ hill. What is the maximum acceleration the truck can have that will not make the crate slide out the back? b) (8 points) What is the maximum acceleration the truck can have that will not make the crate slide out the back if it is going down the same hill?

A worker wants to load a 12 kg crate into a truck by sliding the crate up a straight ramp which is 2.5 m long and which makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. The worker believes that he can get the crate to the very top of the ramp by launching it at 5 m/s at the bottom. Note that the worker does not keep pushing on the crate. But the worker underestimated or even forgot about...

A box rests on top of a flat bed truck. The box has a mass of m = 18 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the box and truck is μs = 0.8 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and truck is μk = 0.61. 1)The truck accelerates from rest to vf = 17 m/s in t = 13 s (which is slow enough that the box will not slide). What is the acceleration of the...

You are moving your 100 kg sofa in the back of a pick up truck, but the sofa is too long. The back of the truck won’t close. You’ve taken the feet off the sofa, and the coefficient of static friction between the sofa and the bed of the truck is 0.2. With what acceleration can you pull out horizontally from rest at a traffic light without the sofa sliding out the back of the bed? Group of answer choices...

In this example we will calculate the coefficients of static and kinetic friction using two equations along with Newton’s second law of motion. Suppose that a delivery company has just unloaded a 500 N crate full of home exercise equipment in your level driveway. You find that to get it started moving toward your garage, you have to pull with a horizontal force of magnitude 230 N. Once the crate “breaks loose” and starts to move, you can keep it...

Tow movers unload a piano of mass 200. kg from a truck by using a ramp that is inclined at 35 degree above the horizontal. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the piano and the ramp are 0.40 and 0.35. respectively. One mover's cell phone rings and he asks the other mover to hold the piano in place during the call. What magnitude horizontal force must the second mover apply to keep the piano stationary? Fatigued after a...

The hill is covered in gravel so that the truck's wheels will slide up the hill instead of rolling up the hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the gravel is ?k. This design has a spring at the top of the ramp that will help to stop the trucks. This spring is located at height h. The spring will compress until the truck stops, and then a latch will keep the spring from decompressing (stretching back...
