1. A box that weighs 5.00102 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?

3. a. Because the frictional force is constant, the acceleration will be constant. Therefore, use the
equations for constant
v 2 vi2

acceleration: 2d
Given:
vi 6.7 m/s
vf 0 m/s
d 18 m
Therefore,
