A person slides a box down a ramp. The box starts from rest 2m above the lowest point. The ramp is frictionless. Once the box reaches the bottom there is friction. For every 1m the box travels on the flat part increases by 100 J. Where does the box stop? The box has mass of 5 kg.

Two boxes are connected to each other as shown. The system is released from rest and the 1.00-kg box falls through a distance of 1.00 m. If the surface is rough with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.33 find the speed of box B just before it reaches the floor? (Apply ME_f - ME_i = W_nc) 3.00 kg 1.00 kg 1.00 m A) 0.22 m/s B) 0.56 m/s C) 0.71 m/s D) zero
