Chapter 4 Review
For each question, select the best answer from the four alternatives.
1. A 3.2 kg object is sitting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the
object and the surface is 0.22. What is the greatest horizontal force that you could exert on the object
without making it move?
(a) 0.70 N (b) 0.72 N
(c) 6.9 N (d) 14 N

2. A block is sitting on a surface. A horizontal force is continuously exerted

rted on the block. After a few
seconds, the block begins to move. Which force is greatest?
(a) static friction just before block moves (b) kinetic friction just before block moves
(c) static friction just after block begins moving (d) kinetic
ic friction just after block begins moving

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. If you think the statement is false, rewrite it to
make it true.
3.

4. Friction acts on an object that is sitting at rest on an inclined surface.

5. An object is only in true free fall if no forces are acting on it.

6. A rubber block with a mass of 2.95 kg is sitting on a dry concrete sidewalk. The coefficient
coefficien of
kinetic friction between the block and concrete is 0.65.
.65. If a force moves the block with a constant
velocity, what is the force of kinetic friction acting between the block and the sidewalk?

4.2-1 Static and Kinetic Friction

7. A steel block is sitting on an icy surface. The maximum force of static friction between
betw the block
and the ice is 5.3 N, and the coefficient of static
ic friction is 0.10. What is the mass of the block?

8. A block of wood with a mass of 3.28 kg is sitting on a snowy surface. The force of static friction
between the wood and the snow is 7.1 N. What is the coefficient
efficient of static friction between the
t wood
and the snow?

9. A block of rubber is sitting on a dry asphalt surface. The force of static friction between the rubber
and the asphalt is 33.8 N. If the mass of the block is 4.7 kg, what is the coefficient
ent of static friction
between the rubber and the asphalt surface?

4.3-1 Friction Problems
10. A taut string is tied between a 4.6 kg block on a table and a 2.1 kg
cylinder hanging over a pulley, as shown in the figure. The coefficient
of kinetic friction between the block and the table is 0.36.
(a) Calculate the acceleration of each object.

(b) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the string.

(c) How far will the objects move in 1.2 s if the initial velocity of the blockk is 1.4 m/s to the right?
