First find the pushing force, which equal to the maximum force of static friction.

Step Formula Derivation Reasoning
1 [katex]F_{\text{static max}} = \mu_{s} F_{\text{normal}}[/katex] Maximum static friction force, where [katex]\mu_{s}[/katex] is the coefficient of static friction.
2 [katex]F_{\text{normal}} = mg[/katex] Normal force equals weight for horizontal motion.
3 [katex]F_{\text{static max}} = \mu_{s} mg[/katex] Substituting [katex]F_{\text{normal}}[/katex].

Now find the net force during the first 5 seconds. Use this to find the acceleration of the block in the first 5 seconds.

Step Formula Derivation Reasoning
1 [katex]F_{\text{net}} = F_{\text{push}} – F_{\text{kinetic}}[/katex] Net force is the difference between pushing force and kinetic friction.
2 [katex]F_{\text{push}} = \mu_{s} F_{\text{normal}}[/katex] Pushing force equal to maximum static friction.
3 [katex]F_{\text{kinetic}} = \mu_{k} F_{\text{normal}}[/katex] Kinetic friction force.
4 [katex]F_{\text{net}} = \mu_{s} mg – \mu_{k} mg[/katex] Substituting values for [katex]F_{\text{push}}[/katex] and [katex]F_{\text{kinetic}}[/katex].
5 [katex]F_{\text{net}} = \mu_{s} mg – \mu_{k} mg = ma [/katex] Set net force equation equal to ma. Then solve for a (acceleration)
6 a = 1 m/s2 Plug in values and solve

Final Speed at End of 5 Seconds

Step Formula Derivation Reasoning
1 [katex]v = u + \frac{F_{\text{net}}}{m}t[/katex] Kinematic equation for velocity. Note F/m is the acceleration (1 m/s2 ) from above.
2 [katex]v = 0 + \frac{(\mu_{s} – \mu_{k}) mg}{m} \times 5, \text{s}[/katex] Initial velocity [katex]u = 0[/katex]; substituting [katex]F_{\text{net}}[/katex] and [katex]t[/katex].
3 [katex]v = 5 m/s [/katex] Plug in values and find the velocity at the end of the 5 second push.

Time to Stop Due to Just Kinetic Friction (after you stop pushing)

Step Formula Derivation Reasoning
1 [katex]0 = v – \mu_{k} gt_{\text{stop}}[/katex] Final velocity [katex]0[/katex] when stopped, [katex]v[/katex] is final speed after push (5 m/s as found above).
2 [katex]t_{\text{stop}} = \frac{v}{\mu_{k} g}[/katex] Solving for time to stop [katex]t_{\text{stop}}[/katex].

Total Time

Step Formula Derivation Reasoning
1 [katex]t_{\text{total}} = t_{\text{push}} + t_{\text{stop}}[/katex] Sum of time with force applied and time to stop.

Let’s calculate [katex]t_{\text{total}}[/katex]. The calculations yield the following results:

  1. Final speed at the end of 5 seconds: [katex]\boxed{4.905, \text{m/s}}[/katex]
  2. Time to stop due to kinetic friction: [katex]\boxed{1.667, \text{seconds}}[/katex]
  3. Total time the block is in motion: [katex]\boxed{6.667, \text{seconds}}[/katex]

A student is watching their hockey puck slide up and down an incline. They give the puck a quick push along a frictionless table, and it slides up a 30° rough incline (µk = .4) of distance d, with an initial speed of 5 m/s, and then it slides back down.

A 10kg box is pushed to the right by an unknown force at an angle of 25° below the horizontal while a friction force of 50 N acts on the box as well. The box accelerates from rest and travels a distance of 4 m where it is moving at 3 m/s. Solve  the following without the use of energy.

The steepest street in the world is Baldwin Street in Dunedin, New Zealand. It has an inclination angle of 38.0° with respect to the horizontal. Suppose a wooden crate with a mass of 25.0 kg is placed on Baldwin Street. An additional force of 59 N must be applied to the crate perpendicular to the pavement in order to hold the crate in place. If the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the pavement is 0.599, what is the magnitude of the frictional force?

General Metric Conversion Chart

Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters. 

  1. Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]

  2. Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]

  3. Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]

  4. Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]

  1. 1. Some answers may vary by 1% due to rounding.
  2. Gravity values may differ: \(9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2\) or \(10 \, \text{m/s}^2\).
  3. Variables can be written differently. For example, initial velocity (\(v_i\)) may be \(u\), and displacement (\(\Delta x\)) may be \(s\).
  4. Bookmark questions you can’t solve to revisit them later
  5. 5. Seek help if you’re stuck. The sooner you understand, the better your chances on tests.
