You slide across a polished hardwood floor and skid smoothly to a stop. If you (? = 50.0 kg) were initially traveling at a speed of 2.50 m/s and stop 19.4 m from the point where you started skidding, calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between your socks and the floor.

to a stop in distance dL = 0.48 m. Piece R encounters a coefficient
of kinetic friction μR = 0.56 and slides to a stop in distance dR =

You are using a rope to pull a box across a hardwood floor at
constant speed.
a) Is the box in mechanical equilibrium? Explain.
b) Is the box accelerating? How do you know?
c) The mass of the box is 14 kg. The normal force exerted on the
box by the ground is 120 N, and the friction force between the box
and the floor is 20 N. What is the tension in the rope?

When you skid to a stop on your bike, you can significantly heat
the small patch of tire that rubs against the road surface. Suppose
a person skids to a stop by hitting the brake on his back tire,
which supports half the 90 kg combined mass of the bike and rider,
leaving a skid mark that is 36 cm long. Assume a coefficient of
kinetic friction of 0.80.
How much thermal energy is deposited in the tire and the...

A 1.0 kg block of wood is to be launched across a slippery floor
by a compresssed spring. The stiffness constant of the spring is
100 N/m, and the spring is initially compressed by 0.50 meters. If
the block slides 10 meters before coming to rest, what is the
coefficient of sliding friction? If the block were to slide 0.50
meters - the very same distance the spring was compressed - what
would be the coefficient of sliding friction?

20.0-kg block initially sits at rest on a rough horizontal
floor. One end of a string is attached to the block. You pull on
the other end of the string with a force of 40.0 N so that the
string makes an angle of 30.0° with the horizontal. After pulling
the block 3.00 m across the floor, it is traveling with a speed of
1.25 m/s. What is the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction
exerted on the block...

A stationary block of mass 5 kg explodes into two pieces L and R
that slide across a frictionless floor. The left piece slides
across the region with friction and stops, the right piece
compresses a spring. Momentum is conserved during the explosion.
Piece L has a mass of 2 kg and encounters a flat surface with
coefficient of kinetic friction µL = 0.4 and slides to a stop in
distance dL = 0.5 m. Piece R slides across the...
