Applications
of Newton's laws
1. Someone at the other end of the table asks you to pass the salt. Feeling quite
dashing, you slide the 50.0-g salt shaker in that direction, giving it an initial
speed of 1.15 m/s.
(a) If the shaker comes to rest with constant acceleration in 0.840 m, what is
the coefficient of kinetic friction between the shaker and the table?
(b) How much time is required for the shaker to come to rest if you slide it
with an initial speed of 1.32 m/s?
