A box slides down a plank of length d that makes an angle of θ with the horizontal as shown. μ_k is the kinetic coefficient of friction and μ_s is the static coefficient of friction.

a) Enter an expression for the minimum angle θ (in degrees) the box will begin to slide.

b) Enter an expression for the nonconservative work done by kinetic friction as the block slides down the plank. Assume the box starts from rest and θ is large enough that it will move down the plank.

For a plank of any length, at what angle θ (in degrees) will the final speed of the box at the bottom of the plank be 0.75 times the final speed of the box when there is no friction present? Assume μ_k = 0.39.

A box (with a penguin inside) with mass, M, slides down a frictionless ramp, starting a height H above ground level. At the lowest point of the ramp (height = -0.1H) it slides through a curved section of track with radius, R= 0.25H. The box (w/ penguin) then rises to ground level (height = 0) and at that point, leaves a jump at an angle θ. At the highest point of its trajectory, h2, it strikes a blob of glue...

A box of mass m1 = 2.0 kg starts from rest and slides down the frictionless incline. At point A, the box encounters a (massless) spring of spring constant k. It compresses the spring a distance x = 0.25 m to point B where the speed of the box is 4.4 m/s. The first box is then removed and a second box of mass m2 = 3.0 kg is placed on the same incline at the same initial point and...
