    Why Does Falling on Ice Make You Slide Forward?

    I was wondering since when you walk you are pushing backwards, therefore frictions pushes you forwards, so when you fall on ice why do you feet slide forward? Or does that just depend on how you fall? Thanks!

    Finding the coefficient of friction of a block on a table

    Ok so their accelerations were equal to zero and their net forces were also equal to zero. Thanks about the free boday diagram (duh). Well i figured out the answer. It ended up being the weight of block b divided by the weight of block a. I have tried looking in my book and looking through my...

    Finding the coefficient of friction of a block on a table

    Homework Statement Block A is on a table and is connected by a pulley to block B. Block A has weight Wa and block B has weight Wb. Once block B is set into downward motion, it descends at a constant speed. Assume that the mass and friction of the pulley are negligible. Calculate the...
