1. [NAT]
The 40-kg crate is projected along the floor with an
initial speed of 10 m/s at 𝑥 = 0 . The coefficient of
kinetic friction is 0.40. The time required for the crate
to come to rest is ___ s. Assume g = 10 m/s2. (Round
off to two decimal places)
4. [NAT]
A 50 kg block rests on a horizontal floor for which
coefficient of friction is 0.3. If block is subjected to a
force of 400 N as shown in figure, find the velocity of
the block (in m/s) after 3 seconds. Assume g = 10 m/s2.

2. [NAT]
Calculate the velocity (in m/s) of the 50-kg crate when
it reaches the bottom of the chute at B if it is given an
initial velocity of 4 m/s down the chute at A. The 5. [NAT]
coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30. Assume g = 10
m/s2. (Round off to two decimal places) The spring is placed between the wall and the 10-kg
block. If the block is subjected to a force of F = 500 N,
determine its velocity (in m/s) when s = 0.5 m. When s
= 0, the block is at rest and the spring is uncompressed.
The contact surface is smooth. (Assume g = 10 m/s2)

Two blocks shown in figure, have masses mA = 20 kg
and mB = 10 kg and the coefficient of friction between
the block A and the horizontal plane, μ = 0.25. If the
system is released, from rest, and the block B falls
through a vertical distance of 1 m, what is the velocity 6. [NAT]
