Description
This will not be graded, but it is in your interest to practice. The solutions will be placed
on the class website, but I strongly encourage you to try the whole exam before
looking at the solutions. The best way to practice is to mimic the environment of the
exam as much as possible; I recommend giving yourself about an hour or so just to
take this and then look over the solutions. Think carefully about what you got incorrect.
If you still don't understand why after thinking about it, ask me to do that problem
during the review day.

1. Question Details sercp8 5.ae.03.nva [989171] -
EXAMPLE 5.3 Collision Analysis
Goal Apply the work-energy theorem with a known force.
Problem The driver of a 1.00 103 kg car traveling on the

interstate at 35.0 m/s (nearly 80.0 mph) slams on his brakes
A braking vehicle just prior to an accident
to avoid hitting a second vehicle in front of him, which had
come to rest because of congestion ahead. After the brakes are applied, a constant friction force of
8.00 103 N acts on the car. Ignore air resistance. (a) At what minimum distance should the brakes be
applied to avoid a collision with the other vehicle? (b) If the distance between the vehicles is initially
only 30.0 m, at what speed would the collision occur?
Strategy Compute the net work, which involves just the kinetic friction, because the normal and gravity
forces are perpendicular to the motion. Then set the net work equal to the change in kinetic energy. To get
the minimum distance in part (a), we take the final speed vf to be zero just as the braking vehicle reaches
the rear of the vehicle at rest. Solve for the unknown, Δ x . For part (b) proceed similarly, except that the
unknown is the final velocity vf .
SOLUTION
(a) Find the minimum necessary stopping distance.
Apply the work-energy theorem to the W net = ½ mvf 2 - ½ mvi 2

car.
Substitute an expression for the - fk Δ x = 0 - ½ mvi 2

frictional work and set vf = 0.
Substitute vi = 35.0 m/s, fk = -(8.00 103 N)Δ x = -½(1.00 103 kg)(35.0 m/s)2
8.00 103 N, and m = 1.00 103 kg.
Δ x = 76.6 m
Solve for Δ x .
2 of 24 6/1/2016 11:17 AM
(b) At the given distance of 30.0 m, the car is too close to the other vehicle. Find the speed at impact.
Write down the work-energy theorem. W net = W fric = - fk Δ x = ½ mvf 2 - ½ mvi 2
Multiply by 2/m and rearrange terms, vf 2 = vi 2 - (2/ m ) fk Δ x

solving for the final velocity vf .
vf 2 = (35.0 m/s)2 - (2 / 1.00 103 kg)(8.00 103
N)(30.0 m)
= 745 m2/s2
vf = 27.3 m/s
LEARN MORE
Remarks This calculation illustrates how important it is to remain alert on the highway, allowing for an
adequate stopping distance at all times. It takes about a second to react to the brake lights of the car in
front of you. On a high-speed highway, your car may travel more than 30 meters before you can engage
the brakes. Bumper-to-bumper traffic at high speed, as often exists on the highways near big cities, is
extremely unsafe.
Question Qualitatively, how would the solution for the final velocity change in part (b) if it's raining
during the incident? (Select all that apply.)
The speed at collision would be smaller.
The coefficient of kinetic friction would be higher.
The magnitude of the work done by friction would be smaller.
The magnitude of the work done by friction would be greater.
The speed at collision would be greater.
The coefficient of kinetic friction would be lower.

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. The driver of a 1.12 103 kg car traveling
on the interstate at 35.0 m/s (nearly 80.0 mph) slams on his brakes to avoid hitting a second vehicle in
front of him, which had come to rest because of congestion ahead. After the brakes are applied, a
constant friction force of 7.90 103 N acts on the car. Ignore air resistance.
(a) At what minimum distance should the brakes be applied to avoid a collision with the other vehicle?
86.8 m
(b) If the distance between the vehicles is initially only 30.0 m, at what speed would the collision occur?
28.3 m/s
EXERCISE HINTS: GETTING STARTED | I'M STUCK!
Use the values from PRACTICE IT to help you work this exercise. A police investigator measures straight
skid marks 34 m long in an accident investigation. Assuming friction force and car mass the same as in
the problem above, what was the minimum speed of the car when the brakes locked?

2. Question Details sercp8 5.p.005.nva [824444] -
Starting from rest, a 5.9-kg block slides 2.10 m down a rough 30.0° incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
block and the incline is µk = 0.436.
(a) Determine the work done by the force of gravity.

60.7 J
(b) Determine the work done by the friction force between block and incline.
-45.8 J
(c) Determine the work done by the normal force.

0 J
(d) Qualitatively, how would the answers change if a shorter ramp at steeper angle were used to span the same
vertical height?
Key: If a shorter ramp is used to increase the angle of inclination while maintaining the same vertical displacement
, the work done by gravity will not change, the work done by the friction force will decrease (because the normal
force, and hence the friction force, will decrease and also because the ramp length L decreases), and the work
done by the normal force remains zero (because the normal force remains perpendicular to the displacement).

14. Question Details sercp10 4.cq.004.nva [2832879] -
If you push on a heavy box that is at rest, you must exert some force to start its motion. Once the box is sliding, why does a
smaller force to maintain its motion?
Key: The coefficient of static friction is larger than that of kinetic friction. To start the box moving, you must
counterbalance the maximum static friction force. This exceeds the kinetic friction force that you must counterbalance to
maintain constant velocity once it starts moving.
If only one force acts on an object, can it be in equilibrium?
Yes
No
Explain.
Key: In order for an object to be in equilibrium, the resultant force acting on it must be zero. Thus, it is not possible for an
object to be in equilibrium when a single force of non-zero magnitude acts on it.

force exerted by the locomotive on the wall?
The force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was the same in magnitude as the force exerted by the wall
on the locomotive.
The force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was larger than the force the wall could exert on the
locomotive.
The force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was less than the force exerted by the wall on the locomotive.
The wall cannot be said to "exert" a force; after all, it broke.

If an object is in equilibrium, which of the following statements is not true?
The object must be at rest.
The acceleration of the object is zero.

A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 32-kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 73-N
horizontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in motion, a horizontal force of 54 N is required to keep it
moving with a constant speed. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between crate and floor.
static friction 0.233
kinetic friction 0.172
When the block is on the verge of moving, the static friction force has a magnitude fs = (fs)max = μsn.
Since equilibrium still exists and the applied force is 73 N, we have
Fx = 73 N − fs = 0 or (fs)max = 73 N.
In this case, the normal force is just the weight of the crate, or n = mg. Thus, the coefficient of static friction is
(fs)max (fs)max 73 N
μs = = = = 0.233.
n mg (32 kg)(9.80 m/s2)
After motion exists, the friction force is that of kinetic friction, fk = μkn.
Since the crate moves with constant velocity when the applied force is 54 N, we find that Fx = 54 N − fk = 0 or
fk = 54 N. Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is
fk fk 54 N
μk = = = = 0.172.
n mg (32 kg)(9.80 m/s2)

Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may
slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, a
13,000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20,000-kg truck moving at 11.0 m/s. Assume the load is not tied down to the truck
and has a coefficient of static friction of 0.400 with the truck bed.
(a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.
15.4 m
(b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution? (Select all that apply.)
mass of the load
mass of the truck
velocity
coefficient of static friction
When the load is on the verge of sliding forward on the bed of the slowing truck, the rearward-directed static friction force
has its maximum value
(fs)max = μsn = μsmloadg.
Since slipping is not yet occurring, this single horizontal force must give the load an acceleration equal to that the truck.
Thus,
Fx = max −μsmloadg = mload(atruck)max or (atruck)max = −μsg.
18 of 24 6/1/2016 11:17 AM
(a) If slipping is to be avoided, the maximum allowable rearward acceleration of the truck is seen to be
2
(atruck)max = −μsg, and vx2 = v 0x + 2ax(Δx) gives the minimum stopping distance as
2 2
0 − v 0x v 0x
(Δx)min = = .
2(atruck)max 2μsg
If v0x = 11.0 m/s and μs = 0.400, then
(11.0 m/s)2
(Δx)min = = 15.4 m.
2(0.400)(9.80 m/s2)
(b) Examining the calculation of part (a) shows that neither mass is necessary.

21. Question Details sercp10 4.p.047.wi.nva [2780409] -
The coefficient of static friction between the m = 3.45−kg crate and the 35.0° incline of the figure below is 0.265. What
minimum force F must be applied to the crate perpendicular to the incline to prevent the crate from sliding down the
incline?
45.5 N
The crate does not accelerate perpendicular to the incline.
Thus,
F⊥ = ma⊥ = 0 n = F + mg cos θ.
The net force tending to move the crate down the incline is F∥ = mg sin θ − fs, where fs is the force of static friction
20 of 24 6/1/2016 11:17 AM
between the crate and the incline. If the crate is in equilibrium, then
mg sinθ − fs = 0 so fs = Fg sin θ.
But, we also know fs ≤ μsn = μs(F + mg cos θ).
Therefore, we may write

mg sin θ ≤ μs(F + mg cos θ) or
sin θ sin 35.0°
F ≥ mg − cos θ = (3.45 kg)(9.80 m/s2) − cos 35.0° = 45.5 N.
μs 0.265

A 122.4-N bird feeder is supported by three cables as shown in the figure below. Find the tension in each cable.
left cable 106 N
right cable 61.2 N
bottom cable 122 N
From Fx = 0,
T1 cos 30.0° − T2 cos 60.0° = 0
or
T2 = (1.73)T1. [1]
22 of 24 6/1/2016 11:17 AM
The tension in the vertical cable is the full weight of the feeder, or Tvertical = 122.4 N.
Then Fy = 0 becomes
T1 sin 30.0° + (1.73T1)sin 60.0° − 122.4 N = 0
which gives T1 = 61.2 N in the right side cable.
Finally, Equation [1] above gives T2 = 106 N in the left side cable.
A 6.8 kg object undergoes an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2.
(a) What is the magnitude of the resultant force acting on it?

17 N
(b) If this same force is applied to a 4.1 kg object, what acceleration is produced?
4.15 m/s2
(a) Fx = max = (6.8 kg)(2.5 m/s2) = 17.0 N
Fx 17.0 N
(b) ax = = = 4.15 m/s2
m 4.1 kg
