Exam 6: Force and Motion II

Block A, with a mass of 10 kg, rests on a 30 $\degree$ incline.The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20.The attached string is parallel to the incline and passes over a massless, frictionless pulley at the top.Block B, with a mass of 8.0 kg, is attached to the dangling end of the string.The acceleration of B is:

A 5.0-kg crate is resting on a horizontal plank.The coefficient of static friction is 0.50 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40.After one end of the plank is raised so the plank makes an angle of 25 $\degree$ with the horizontal, the force of friction is:

A professor holds an eraser against a vertical chalkboard by pushing horizontally on it.She pushes with a force that is much greater than is required to hold the eraser.The force of friction exerted by the board on the eraser increases if she:

A forward horizontal force of 12 N is used to pull a 240-N crate at constant velocity across a horizontal floor.The coefficient of friction is:

An object moves in a circle.If the mass is tripled, the speed halved and the radius unchanged then the magnitude of the centripetal force must be multiplied by a factor of:

A 12-kg crate rests on a horizontal surface and a boy pulls on it with a force that is 30 $\degree$ below the horizontal.If the coefficient of static friction is 0.40, the minimum magnitude force he needs to start the crate moving is:

A ball is thrown upward into the air with a speed that is greater than terminal speed.On the way up it slows down and, after its speed equals the terminal speed but before it gets to the top of its trajectory:

A force (larger than the largest possible force of static friction)is applied to the left to an object moving to the right on a horizontal surface.Then:
