    Elma Asagra
    This document contains examples and practice problems related to Newton's Second Law (Dynamics) involving various physical situations: 1) Finding the angle of a toboggan's slope to allow for constant velocity sliding down the hill given the mass and kinetic friction coefficient. 2) Calculating the horizontal force exerted by the wind on an iceboat initially at rest that accelerates to 6.0 m/s in 4.0 seconds, given the combined mass of the iceboat and rider. 3) Determining the tension in an elevator cable that brings an initially descending elevator with a given mass to a stop over a specified distance and with constant acceleration.

    Applications of Newton's Second Law (Dynamics)

    Practice 5: Toboggan down a hill (modified) 


    In example 5, the wax has worn off, so there is now a nonzero
    coefficient of kinetic friction μk. The slope has just the right angle to
    make the toboggan slide with constant velocity. Find this angle in terms
    of w and μk.

    Practice 6: Iceboat and the wind (modified) 


    An iceboat is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A wind is
    blowing along the direction of the runners so that 4.0 s after the
    iceboat is released, it is moving at 6.0 m/s. What is constant horizontal
    force Fw does the wind exert on the iceboat? The combined mass of
    iceboat and rider is 200 kg.
    Practice 7: Tension in an elevator cable (modified) 
     An elevator and its load have a a combined mass of 1500 lb. The
    elevator is initially moving downward at 30.0 ft/s; it slows to a stop with
    constant acceleration in a distance of 27 yards. What is the tension T in
    the supporting cable while the elevator is being brought to rest? 
    *Express your final answer in pound force and in newton. 

    Practice 8: Apparent weight in an accelerating elevator (modified) 


    A 50.0 kg woman stands on a bathroom scale while riding in the
    elevator. What is the reading on the scale if the elevator moves
    upwards with an increasing speed? (Consider an acceleration
    of 2.00 m/s2) 
    Frictional Forces

    Example 9: Pushing a box horizontally 


    A box weighing 2000 N is sliding across a cement floor. The force
    pushing the box is 500 N, and the coefficient of sliding friction between
    the box and the floor is 0.20
    a. What is the magnitude and direction of the sliding friction? 
    b. What is the acceleration of the box? 
    Practice 9: System of boxes 
    Two boxes are connected by a rope running over a pulley, as shown in
    the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between box A and the
    table is 0.20. The mass of box A is 5.0 kg and the mass of box B is 2.0 kg.
    The entire system (both boxes) will move together with the same
    acceleration and velocity. Find the acceleration of the system. 
    (Ignore the masses of the rope and the pulley and any friction in the
    pulley.)  
    Example 10: Pulling a crate horizontally 
    You want to move a 500 N crate across a level floor. To start the crate
    moving, you have to pull with a 230 N horizontal force. Once the crate
    "breaks loose" and starts to move, you can keep it moving at constant
    velocity with only 200 N.
    (a) What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction? 
    (b) What is the friction force if the crate is at rest on the surface and a
    horizontal force of 50 N is applied to it? 
    Practice 10: Pulling a crate at an angle 
    In example 10, suppose you move the crate by pulling upward on the
    rope at an angle of 30°above the horizontal. How hard must you pull to
    keep it moving with constant velocity? Assume that uk=0.40.
