There is a 10 kg block on a ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is 0.1 and the angle of the ramp is 30 degrees from the horizontal. 1. Draw a picture of the situation 2. Draw a free body diagram for the block 3. What is the acceleration of the block?

A block of mass m = 0.5 kg is kicked so that it slides up a ramp inclined at an angle θ = 30°. At the bottom of the ramp, the block has speed v0 = 4.0 m/s. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and ramp μk = 0.18. (a) How far up the ramp does the block slide? (b) Assume that the block comes to rest and does not slide back down the ramp. What must be the minimum coefficient of static friction between the block and ramp?
A $2.50-\mathrm{kg}$ block is placed on a rough surface inclined at $30^{\circ} .$ The block is propelled and launched at a speed of $1.60 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ down the incline and comes to rest after sliding $1.10 \mathrm{~m} .$ (a) Draw the free-body diagram of the block while it is sliding. Also indicate your coordinate system axes. (b) Starting with Newton's second law applied along both axes of your coordinate system, use your free-body diagram to generate two equations. (c) Solve these equations for the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline surface. [Hint: You will need to first determine the block's acceleration.]
