AP Physics Friction Practice Test

     
1 ) A block of mass = 2m is stacked atop a block of mass = m. The sliding COF between the blocks = 0.8 and between the lower block and floor is 0.1. A force = F is applied to the top block parallel to the ground. Find the acceleration of the lower block.
     
2 ) Find the acceleration of a box of mangos sliding down a slope of 40 degrees. Assume the dynamic COF = .2 and the static COF = .3. Would doubling the number of mangos in the box have any effect on the acceleration?
     
3 ) If the above box of mangos rests on a 20 degree slope, will it slide?
     
4 ) Find the static COF if the box of mangos starts to slide if the angle of the slope =  30 degrees.
     
5 )
The tires on Martha's 4WD SUV  have a static COF = 0.7 and a dynamic COF = 0.5 with the road surface. What is her maximum acceleration and minimum stopping distance?
     
6 ) If Martha's SUV is only 2WD, what is the effect on her her maximum acceleration and minimum stopping distance? Assume the COF's are the same and that the car's mass is evenly distributed (half over the front tires and half over the back tires).

Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics is one of the most humorous, entertaining, and readable physics books available, yet is filled with all kinds of useful content and clear explanations especially for high school and 1st semester college physics students.

It explains all 3 of Newton's laws, the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, momentum, energy, gravity, circular motion and a host of other topics all through the lens of Hollywood movies.

If you want to learn how to think physics and have a lot of fun in the process, this is the book for you!

 

First the web site,

now the book!
