Calculating Acceleration and Work for a Box on a Horizontal Surface
Homework Statement A 125 N box is pulled along the floor with a force of 60 N acting at an angle of 42 degrees to the horizontal. If the force of friction on the box is 15 N, A. what is the acceleration of the box? B. How much work is done to move the box over a distance of 5 m...- kselanders

Coefficient of static friction?
I have this question that I am working on, I think I know the formula to figure it out, but I am not too sure. I just need some help explaining how to do it, what to figure out first. The rest I can obviously do myself. Thank you so much! A 1450 kg car is towing a trailer of a mass of 454 kg...- kselanders

How Far Does a Car Travel Accelerating Uniformly from Rest to 20 m/s West?
Homework Statement A car accelerates uniformly from rest. If the acceleration was 2.50 m/s^2 west, what was its displacement when it reached a velocity of 20.0 m/s west? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution A= 2.50 m/s^2 west Vi= 0 m/s Vf= 20 m/s west vf=vi+at 20m/s=2.50m/s^2(t)...- kselanders
