Abox sits on the back of a flatbed truck. if the coefficient of static friction between the box and the truck bed is μs = 0.400, what is the shortest distance in which the truck can stop on level ground without the box sliding if it is initially traveling at v = 15.0 m/s?

28,699m

Explanation:

The force to make the box move should be μs.N=μs.m.g=m.|a|

then,

|a|=μs.g

Being

μs coefficient of static friction,

N the force made by the truck on the box caused by the gravity force,

m the mass,

g the acceleration of gravity

and a the acceleration of the truck.

as the truck is stopping, the acceleration is negative. then,

28,699m

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
