A 1200 kg truck travels around a flat, unbanked curve of radius 300 m at a speed of   20.0 m/s. Calculate the centripetal force acting on the truck. Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road necessary to prevent the truck from slipping.

Zach has worked with Dr. Castelli as his teaching assistant for the last three semesters. Over time, Zach has established a trustworthy relationship with Dr. Castelli. Zach now has the authority to freely meet with students one-on-one to review course material without his professor’s knowledge. He does not need to brief the professor on who is coming to meet with him, or what he is discussing with the students. From time to time, though, Zach will consult his professor for advice. In this scenario, Zach has:

A 100.0 kg box is pushed across a snow-covered floor at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s by a horizontal force 196 N. The box then enters a 1.0 m long rough section where the coefficient of kinetic friction increases to 0.40, while the same horizontal force continues to be applied. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the box while it moves over the rough section? Calculate the net work done on the box as it travels across the rough patch. Determine the speed of the box when it reaches the end of the rough surface.
