Displacement and Force in Two Dimensions-5

This document contains a physics worksheet with 3 questions about displacement and force in two dimensions. [1] It asks students to calculate the coefficient of friction between a sliding box and a ramp, determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant velocity of an airplane in a crosswind, and calculate the frictional force and coefficient of friction on a hockey puck sliding across ice. [2] It then provides the answers and calculations for each question. [3] The key gives the coefficient of friction between the box and ramp as 0.47, the resultant velocity of the airplane as 264 m/s at 6° west of north, and the frictional force on the puck as 0.02 N with a coefficient of friction of 0.

Worksheet-5

Applying Physics Knowledge

Answer the following questions. Show your calculations.

1. A box that weighs 5.00102 N is sliding down a ramp at a constant speed. The angle the ramp
makes with the horizontal is 25°. What is the coefficient of friction between the box and the
ramp? You may want to draw a free-body diagram to help you solve the problem.

2. An airplane is traveling 25° west of north at 300 m/s when a wind with velocity 100 m/s directed
35° east of north begins to blow. Using graphical methods, determine the magnitude and
direction of the resultant velocity.

3. During a hockey game on a pond, the defenseman passes a 114-g hockey puck over the ice to
the center, who fails to catch it. The puck is traveling at an initial speed of 6.7 m/s. It stops in
18 m due to the frictional force on it from the ice.
a. Find the magnitude of the frictional force on the ice.

b. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice?

(The coordinate system determines whether a is  or .)

b. To find the frictional force, use


F  kN
Considering the vertical direction, there are two forces acting on the puck, the force of
gravity (or the puck’s weight) and the normal force. These two forces must add to zero.
