A box is sliding with a speed of 4.50 m/s on a horizontal surface when, at point P, it encounters a rough section. On the rough section, the coefficient of friction is not constant but starts at .100 at P and increases linerly with distance past P, reaching a value of .600 at 12.5 m past point P. (a) Use the work energy theorem to find how far this box slides before stopping. (b) What is the coefficient of friction at the stopping point? (c) How far would the box have slid iff the friciton coefficient didn't increase, but instead had the constant value of .1?
?A spring gun's spring has a constant force k =400 N/m and negligible mass. The spring is compressed 6.00 cm and a ball with mass 0.0300 kg is placed in the horizontal barrel against the compressed spring.The ball is then launched out of the gun's barrel after the spring is released. The barrel is 6.00 cm long, so the ball leaves the barrel at the same point that it loses contact with the spring. The gun is held so the barrel is horizontal. Calculate the speed with which the ballleaves the barrel if you can ignore friction. Calculate the speed of the ball as it leavesthe barrel if a constant resisting force of 6.00 Nacts on the ball as it moves along the barrel. For the situation in part (b), at what position along the barrel does the ball have the greatest speed?
