Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 18 kg and the larger bottom crate has a mass of m2 = 85 kg. There is NO friction between the crate and the floor, but the coefficient of static friction between the two crates is μs = 0.82 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two crates is μk = 0.66. A massless rope is attached to the lower crate to pull it horizontally to the right (which should be considered the positive direction for this problem).

A)The rope is pulled with a tension T = 406 N (which is small enough that the top crate will not slide). What is the acceleration of the small crate?
B)In the previous situation, what is the frictional force the lower crate exerts on the upper crate?
C)What is the maximum tension that the lower crate can be pulled at before the upper crate begins to slide?
D)The tension is increased in the rope to 1185 N causing the boxes to accelerate faster and the top box to begin sliding. What is the acceleration of the upper crate?
E)As the upper crate slides, what is the acceleration of the lower crate?

A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 34-kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 73-N horizontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in motion, a horizontal force of 50 N is required to keep it moving with a constant speed. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between crate and floor

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 22 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.2 and 8.0 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is...

A jumper with a mass of 90 kg is held at rest at the top of a 100 m high ramp. The jumper is then released to water. (The gravitational field strength is 9.8 m/s2 ) Calculate the change in gravitational potential energy of the jumper when he reaches the ground (the point Y) in kilojoule. How would you calculate the magnitude of kinetic energy of the jumper at point Y? (Assume no energy is transferred or lost during). A...
