Chapter 7, Problem 53P
A loaded 375 kg toboggan is traveling on smooth horizontal snow at 4.5 m/s when it suddenly comes to a rough region. The region is 7.0 m long and reduces the toboggan’s speed by 1.5 m/s. (a) What average friction force did the rough region exert on the toboggan? (b) By what percent did the rough region reduce the toboggan’s (i) kinetic energy and (ii) speed?

An experiment is conducted where a metal ramp is placed on a level surface, with the ramp’s surface at 37 degrees to the horizontal. A 1.00kg block is placed 3.00m above the surface initially at rest and allowed to slide down to the bottom. The velocity at the bottom of the ramp is found to be 5.62m/s. Estimate the coefficient of kinetic friction for the ramp
