Homework Statement
A baggage handler drops your 9.10kg suitcase onto a conveyor belt running at 2.90m/s . The materials are such that ms= 0.560 and mk= 0.150.
How far is your suitcase dragged before it is riding smoothly on the belt? (in meters)
Homework Equations
fk = mk times normal force
fs = ms times normal force
and kinematic equations
The Attempt at a Solution
forces acting on the suitcase:
normal force in upwards y direction = 89.2 N
weight (mg) in downwards y direction = -89.2 N
static friction or kinetic friction?? towards the left x direction
...
positive velocity of the conveyor belt towards the right x direction = 2.90m/s
