Two men are initially standing at rest on a frozen lake. The larger man (m=100 kg) shoves the smaller man (m=70 kg) with a force of 150 N. The ice is not frictionless, and the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between each man and the ice are s = 0.2 and k = 0.1. Find how big...

A uniform ladder of mass (m) and length (L) leans against a frictionless wall, see figure. If the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.45, what is the minimum angle (q) between the ladder and the floor at which the ladder will not slip?

You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 3.00 kg, up an incline of constant slope angle 30.0^{\circ} so that it reaches a stranded skier who is a vertical distance 3.50 m above the bottom of the incline. There is some friction present; the kinetic...

The minimum distance required to stop a car moving at 36.0 mi/h is 41.0 ft. What is the minimum stopping distance for the same car moving at 63.0 mi/h, assuming the same rate of acceleration?

1. A 0.1 gram plastic bead is charged by the addition of 1.0 x 1010 excess electrons. What electric field (magnitude and direction) will cause the bead to become suspended in the air

A simple pendulum of length 2.5 makes 9.0 complete swings in 28.8 .What is the acceleration of gravity at the location of the pendulum?

how long it takes the motorcycle to cover a distance of 50.0 \rm m starting at zero velocity with an acceleration of 7.00 \rm {m/s^2}

In January 2004, NASA landed exploration vehicles on Mars. Part of the descent consisted of the following stages: Stage A: Friction with the atmosphere reduced the speed from 19300 to 1600 in 4.0 . Stage B: A parachute then opened to slow it down to 321 in 94 . Stage C: Retro rockets...

Suppose you are driving on the interstate at 88 mph when you see a highway patrol car parked up ahead. You apply your brakes, decelerating at a constant rate of 4.3 mph/sec until you have reduced your speed to 65 mph. You then maintain a constant speed of 65 mph. You pass the patrol car 17...
