P211 MT2 Fall 2004 Form A35/41.A student wants to determine the coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between a box and a plank.She places the box on the plank and gradually raises one end of the plank. When the angle of inclination withthe horizontal reaches 27.5°, the box starts to slip and slides down the plank in 4.1 s. The coefficient of staticfriction is:A.0.425B.0.462C.0.479D.0.521E.0.88735/62.A trunk with a weight of 250 N rests on the floor. The coefficient of static friction between the trunk and thefloor is 0.42, while the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20.

During the stopping process his center of mass moves 40 cmtoward the railing. What average force must he exert on the railing?A.7.8 NB.15.6 NC.781 ND.1562 NE.3125 N47/87.A Physics 211 student watches a maple leaf gently fall from a tree on a calm autumn day. The leaf is falling atconstant speed, and she draws the following conclusions. Which, if any, are TRUE?i) The net force on the leaf is zero.ii) The work done by air resistance has the same magnitude as the work done by gravity.iii) The mechanical energy K+U is a constant during the fall of the leaf.iv) The work done by air resistance on the leaf is negative.A.iii) and iv) onlyB.i) and ii) onlyC.i), ii), and iv) onlyD.i), ii) and iii) onlyE.all four statements are truePage 2P211 MT2 Fall 2004 Form A48/48.A large block of cheese, attached securely to a bungee cord, is released from rest from a stationary helicopter.The helicopter is 50 meters above the ground. The bungee cord has an unstretched length of 20 meters and aspring constant of 50 Newtons per meter. The mass of the cheese is 100 kg. Unfortunately the helicopter istoo low and the cheese hits the ground. With approximately what velocity does it hit the ground?A.0 m/sB.16 m/sC.24 m/sD.32 m/sE.50 m/s48/169.An object of mass m slides without rolling down the frictionless fun-slide depicted in the figure.
