How to use the work-energy theorem to find mu?
but before doing that... i should watch the units more carefully next time... yeah... i will have to charge the yellow car with over speeding... i should really know my units... so i converted 70 km/hr to m/s and i get 19.44m/s and the driver did... get over that limit... sorry, sometimes...- jshot079

How to use the work-energy theorem to find mu?
ok! So this is what i did... well first you need to find Fnet so... its Ʃfx Fa-Ff=+ma since the velocity is constant... i think that acceleration is zero... so i get 75.8-Ff=0 ________________________________ and next... ƩFy FN-Fw=0 FN=Fw FN=88.2 and if we apply the...- jshot079

How to use the work-energy theorem to find mu?
hahah... tnx! I knew i was right... one way or another. with that out of the way... so now i got m1=2.674 kg m2=1.100 kg vi2=0 and with two unknowns... vi1=? vf =? and in order to fine them i got these two equations... vi1=(m1+m2)vf/m1 and vf= m1vi1/(m1+m2) hmm... would i...- jshot079

How to use the work-energy theorem to find mu?
thanks for confirming and killing any doubts i have. for the mu, i used the equation for the spring scale and friction block µ = Fspring /Fnormal µ =Fspring /(mblock •g ) so i assumed that the horizontal force is from the spring scale and the vertical force is from the friction...- jshot079

Homework Statement please check this link out to make it simpler to understand... http://www.scribd.com/doc/62694749/MC-Collision1D2 there is a friction block and a spring scale... it gives two measurements (the vertical force and the horizontal force) Fvertical=88.2 N and Fhorizontal=75.8 N...- jshot079
