Hector drives a pickup truck horizontally at 15.0 m/s. He is transporting a crate of delicate lead crystal. If the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the truck bed is 0.300, what is the minimum stopping distance for the truck so the crate will not slide?
a. 51.0 m
b. 38.3 m
c. 44.4 m
d. 28.7 m
Use Newton's law of motion, net force = mass multiplied by acceleration.
The negative acceleration here will be due to friction.

A 35 kg crate is carried in a pickup truck traveling horizontally at 15.0 m/s. The truck applies the brakes for a distance of 28.7 m while stopping with uniform acceleration. What is the force of friction between the crate and th
A crate of mass 42.0 kg is being transported on the flatbed of a pickup truck. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the truck's flatbed is 0.340, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.180. (a) The truck accelerates forward on level ground. What is the maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the crate does not slide relative to the truck's flatbed? (Give the magnitude of the acceleration.) 3.33 Correct: Your answer is correct. m/s2...
The coefficient of static friction between the flat bed of the
truck and the crate it carries is 0.29. Determine the minimum
stopping distance s which the truck can have from a speed
of 50 km/h with constant deceleration if the crate is not to slip
forward.

Cumulative Problem 1 A 150.0-kg crate rests in the bed of a truck that slows from 56.0 km/h to a stop in 12.0 s. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the truck bed is 0.675. 1) Will the crate slide during the braking period? The crate will slide during the braking period. The crate will not slide during the braking period. Submit 2) What is the minimum stopping time for the truck in order to prevent the...
