Homework Statement [/B] I'm not a native english speaker, so I apologize if my explanations are a bit awkward. I do not have a solution to this problem and I'd be grateful if someone could check this/help. I also have absolutely no idea how to even begin. Asked my colleagues, none of them know...

It is the coefficient of friction here, I've checked. There are many problems like this in my textbook but it usually cancels out with something and gives me a reasonable solution. I believe they expect the same thing here. The only thing I perhaps didn't mention is that the body never makes it...

Would you mind to explain a bit? We don't (ever) use differential equations in my physics class. How does that help me find the solution?

Homework Statement An object is placed on a slope with initial velocity v=0m/s. Angle of the slope is 30 degrees and the coefficient of friction (or friction factor, not sure how it's said in English) is given as u=0.1*(x/m) where x is the path traversed and m is the mass of the object. After...

I just want to state that i DID solve the problem. I just seek understanding of it. I'd be really grateful if someone could answer two of my questions at the end of this post. The problem I've solved here is just to show what I'm dealing with. 1. Homework Statement Object 1 is moving towards...
