Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Newton's Law System With Friction Problem

Newton's Laws get the rocket to work, but do they serve any other functions? A six-page resource classifies rockets by the type of propellant they use. It then describes applications of Newton's Laws of Motion, both in the...

Students must find out different things for a series of objects moving as a system.

Students must find out different things for a series of object's moving as a system with Friction. In this problem students will be given both a static friction coefficient and a kinetic friction coefficient.

How do Newton's Laws connect with electrical forces? This overview illustrates how they blend together. After studying this explanation, test understanding with the review questions provided.

Students must find out the acceleration of a system including an incline that has friction.

Students must calculate the distance an object will move up an incline using Newton's Laws. Mass, angle, gravitational field, coefficient of friction and initial speed will be generated randomly.

Students must calculate the speed of a block when it returns to its original location on an incline using Newton's Laws. Mass, angle, gravitational field, coefficient of friction and initial speed will be generated randomly.

Students must find out different things for a series of 3 objects moving as a system.

Students must find out the acceleration of a system including an incline.

Students must find the distance that Joey will travel as a projectile based on the kinetic energy that he possesses.
