An object of mass m is at rest at the top of a smooth slope of height h and length L. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface, uk, is small enough that the object will slide down the slope after being given a very small push to get it started. Find an expression for the object's speed at the bottom of the slope

A puck of mass 0.170 kg slides across ice in the positive x-direction with a kinetic friction coefficient between the ice and puck of 0.150. If the puck is moving at an initial speed of 12.0 m/s, (a) what is the force of kinetic friction? (b) What is the acceleration of the puck? (c) How long does it take for the puck to come to rest? (d) What distance does the puck travel during that time? (e) What total work does friction do on the puck? (f) What average power does friction generate in the puck during that time? (g) What instantaneous power does friction generate in the puck when the velocity is 6.00 m/s? (See Sections 2.5, 4.6, 5.1, and 5.6.)
Problems 67. 70. 71. and 72 are grouped. A A block of mass M is placed on a frictionless plane. The plane is inclined at an angle , and the block is a distance d from its end. Of course, we would expect the block to slip down the plane. Suppose we revolve the incline around the vertical axis shown in Figure P6.67 instead. At what period of revolution will the block remain in place on the plane? FIGURE P6.67 Problems 67. 71. and 72.

The surface of the table is 0.8 m above the floor. Determine the coefficient of friction between the box and the table. Determine the speed of the box at the moment it hits the floor.

A block of unknown mass is placed on a ramp at a height h above the ground as shown. The block is given a push so it has an initial velocity of v0. The block travels down the ramp, which is frictionless; upon reaching the bottom, the block travels along the horizontal surface where friction is present. The coefficient of friction is mu. How far along the horizontal surface does the mass travel before coming to a stop? A. (1/2 v0^2 + g h) / [sqrt(mu) g] B. (1/2 v0^2 + g h) mu / g C. (1/2 v0^2 + g h) / mu g D.
