An 8.0 kg box is sliding at the bottom of an incline at 5.00 m/s. The box will slow to a rest. If the coefficient of friction is 0.600, how far up the incline will the box travel?

Two boxes are on the incline as shown. What is the net force for each box?

A box starts from rest and accelerates as it slides 1.15m down the incline shown below. The incline is 34 degree from horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.350 and the coefficient of static friciton is 0.450. What is the speed of the box when it reaches the bottom of the incline?

The coefficient of kinetic friction was choosen because the box is sliding across the surface. If the box was at rest then the coefficient of statics friction whould have been used.

This is waht your paper would look like. You do not have to write the force questions.

Questions to ask to help you decide what forces are acting onthe body?

• Is it on a planet? Yes, therefore is experiences weight.
• Is there a contact surface? Yes. therefore there is anormal force.
• Is there friction? Yes, therefore it experiences friction.
• Is there drag? No.
• Is there a rope? No.
• Other forces? No.
