A 2 kg block, starting from rest, slides 20 m down a frictionless inclined plane from X to Y, dropping a vertical distance of 10 m as shown above. 1) The magnitude of the net force on the block while it is sliding is most nearly (a) 0.1 N (b) 2.5 N (c) 5.0 N (d) 10.0 N

A 1,040-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force F of 270 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal, as shown in the figure below. Two figures show a side view of a crate positioned upon a horizontal surface. Figure (a): An arrow pointing downward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° below the horizontal as it approaches the upper left edge of the crate. Figure (b): An arrow pointing upward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° above the horizontal as it extends from the upper right edge of the crate. (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.) (b) If the 270-N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal, as shown in figure b, what will be the acceleration of the crate? Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a).
