    Friction

     Practice  Problems:  Solve  on  separate  lined  paper  


     
    fs ≤ µsN     fk = µk N  
     
     

     
     
    1)     A  12.0  kg  box  is  being  pulled  along  level  ground  at  constant  velocity  by  a  horizontal  force  of  38.0  N.  
    € €
    What  is  the  coefficient  of  kinetic  friction  between  the  box  and  the  floor?  
     
    2)     The  horizontal  pulling  force  on  the  box  in  the  above  problem  is  increased  to  55.0  N.  What  is  the  box’s  
    acceleration?  
     
    3)     A  car  driving  on  level  ground  at  20.0  m/s  slams  on  its  brakes  and  skids  to  a  halt.  If  the  coefficient  of  
    kinetic  friction  between  the  car’s  tires  and  the  road  is  0.750,  how  far  does  the  car  skid  before  
    stopping?  How  far  would  the  car  have  skidded  if  it  had  been  moving  at  40.0  m/s?  
     
     
      20   o

     
     
    4)   A  15.0  kg  box  is  being  pulled  along  level  ground  by  a  75.0  N  force  that  is  directed  at  an  angle  of  20o  
    above  the  horizontal.  The  coefficient  of  kinetic  friction  is  0.330.  What  is  the  acceleration  of  the  box?  
     
    5)     A  5.00  kg  box  is  being  pulled  at  constant  speed  up  a  30o  incline  by  a  force  of  45.0  N  parallel  to  the    
    incline.  Determine  the  coefficient  of  kinetic  friction  between  the  box  and  the  plane.  
     
    6)     If  the  coefficient  of  static  friction  between  your  sneakers  and  the  ground  is  0.800,  what  is  the  largest  
    angle  incline  you  could  stand  on  without  slipping?    
     
    7)   A  box  slides  down  a  45o  incline  with  an  acceleration  of  1.24  m/s2  down  the  incline.  What  is  the  
    coefficient  of  kinetic  friction  between  the  block  and  the  incline?  
     
       
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Answers:  1)  0.323;  2)  1.43  m/s2;  3)  27.2  m;  109  m;  4)  2.03  m/s2;  5)  0.483;  6)  38.7o;  7)  0.821
