Friction WS

1. A 100 N box is at rest on a tabletop where the coefficients of friction are 0.4 static and 0.3
kinetic. What force of friction will be present if you push on it horizontally westward with 35 N?
Give magnitude and direction of friction force.

2. A 30 kg crate is at rest on a factory floor. If the coefficients of friction are 0.3 static and 0.1
kinetic, what force will it take to get the crate moving?
b) once moving, how much force will it take to keep it moving at a constant speed?

3. A 400 N wagon is at rest on a carpeted floor. If the coefficients of friction are 0.6 static and 0.4
kinetic, what will happen if you push horizontally with 245 N?
b) what will be the acceleration of the wagon?

4. A 10 kg block of ice is sliding across the kitchen floor. If the coefficients of friction between ice
and floor are 0.2 static and 0.1 kinetic, how much friction is acting on the ice?
b) what will be the acceleration of the ice?

5. A boy pushes a 100 N crate forward with a 40 N force across a level floor (it is sliding across
the floor currently). If the coefficients of friction are 0.4 static and 0.3 kinetic, what will be the net
force and acceleration of the crate?

6. You pull horizontally on a 300 N sled packed with presents, which is initially at rest. If the
coefficients of friction are 0.4 Static and 0.3 Kinetic, will you be able to move it if you pull with 100
N?
b) How would this change if the sled were already sliding?
