The 2.5-Mg van is traveling with a speed of 100 km>h when

the brakes are applied and all four wheels lock. If the speed
decreases to 40 km>h in 5 s, determine the coefficient of
kinetic friction between the tires and the road.

SOLUTION
Free-Body Diagram: The free-body diagram of the van is shown in Fig. a. The frictional
force is Ff = mkN since all the wheels of the van are locked and will cause the van
to slide.

Principle of Impulse and Momentum: The initial and final speeds of the van are
m 1h m 1h

Two boxes A and B, each having a weight of 160 lb, sit on A

the 500-lb conveyor which is free to roll on the ground. If B
the belt starts from rest and begins to run with a speed of
3 ft>s, determine the final speed of the conveyor if (a) the
boxes are not stacked and A falls off then B falls off, and (b)
A is stacked on top of B and both fall off together.

SOLUTION

0 = a b (vb) - a b(vc)
32.2 32.2

a:
+ b vb = vc + vb>c

vb = -vc + 3

Thus, vb = 1.83 ft>s : vc = 1.17 ft>s ;

When a box falls off, it exerts no impulse on the conveyor, and so does not alter the
momentum of the conveyor. Thus,

a) vc = 1.17 ft>s ; Ans.

b) vc = 1.17 ft>s ; Ans.

Ans:
a) vc = 1.17 ft>s d
b) vc = 1.17 ft>s d

0.4(5) + 0 = 0.4(vA)2 + 0.4(vB)2 (1)
