4.4 Further Applications of Newton's Laws

A 12.0-kg mass is placed on a 25.0° incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static
friction in this case is 0.580, and the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.520. The mass is given a shove
causing it to slide down the incline. What is the frictional force while the mass is sliding?
Select one:

a. 49.7 N

b. 61.2 N

c. 55.4 N

d. 107 N

4.2 Projectile Motion

Superguy is flying at treetop level near Paris when he sees the Eiffel Tower elevator start to fall (the
cable snapped). His x-ray vision tells him Lois LaTour is inside. If Superguy is 1.00 km away from the
tower, and the elevator falls from a height of 2.1 × 102 m, how long does Superguy have to save Lois,
and what must be his average speed?
