What is the coefficient of friction between cheese and ice

Reference no: EM13545748

Bored, a boy shoots his pellet gun at a piece of cheese that sits, keeping cool for dinner guests, on a massive block of ice. On one particular shot, his 1.4 g pellet gets stuck in the cheese, causing it to slide 25 cm before coming to a stop. If the muzzle velocity of the gun is 61 m/s and the cheese has a mass of 144 g, what is the coefficient of friction between the cheese and ice?

How far along the rough patch do blocks go before stopping : A frictionless ramp is constructed so that it is at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal. It is 1.8 meters long and 0.9 meters high. A 4 kg block is released at the top of the ramp and slides down onto a frictionless horizontal surface where it hit..

How far does the spring stretch to stop the jet : A 15,000 kg F-18 (jet fighter) lands at 50 m/s on an aircraft carrier, its tail hook snags the cable to slow it down. The cable is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 62,000 N/m. How far does the spring stretch to stop the jet?
