a box with a mass of 35kg slides down a ramp at a constant velocity. if the coefficient of kinetic friction is .280, what is the angle on the incline?
Added by Matthew W.
Step 1
We can use the formula: force of friction = coefficient of friction x normal force The normal force is the force perpendicular to the surface of the ramp, which is equal to the weight of the box (since the box is not accelerating vertically). So: normal force = Show more…

A box, with a weight of mg = 25 N, is placed at the top of a ramp and released from rest. The ramp measures 4.20 meters horizontally and 3.30 meters vertically. The box accelerates down the incline, attaining a kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp of 54.0 J. There is a force of kinetic friction acting on the box as it slides down the incline. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and ramp?

A box slides with uniform acceleration up an incline. The box has an initial speed of 9.0 ?/? and rises vertically 2.60 ? before coming to rest. If the angle of the incline is 30°, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the incline?

A 2 kg block slides down a ramp which is inclined at an angle. Assume there is friction. If the frictional force is 5.67 N, what is the coefficient of friction? At what incline (measured in degrees) will the box slide at constant velocity?
