A sled slides along a horizontal surface on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is
0.42. Its velocity at point A is 6.7 m/s and at point B is 3.4 m/s. Use the impulse-
momentum theorem to find how long (in s) the sled takes to travel from A to B. Assume
that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2.
A 14.3 gm bullet is fired into a 12.3 kg wood block that is at rest on a wood table. The
block, with the embedded bullet, slides 6.00 cm across the table. Assuming that the local
acceleration due to gravity is 9.80m/s2 and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between
the block and the table is 0.200, what was the speed of the bullet (in m/s)?
