Q. Find the force necessary to start the crate moving, given that the mass of the crate is 32 {rm kg} and the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.60.
Q. A railroad car of mass 2.9 104 kg moving at 3.50 m/s collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction at 1.20 m/s.
How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
