Assignment:
I am working on a losing cargo problem. I have a box of mass 12.7kg that rests on the flat floor of my truck. My coefficents of friction between the box and floor are u8 =0.180 and uk=0.160. TMy truck stops at a stop sign and then starts to move with an acceleration of 2.15m/s2 . (That s squared.) So if the box is a distance 1.81m from the rear of the truck when I start it, how much time will elapse before the box falls of my truck?
Assume the free fall acceleration to be g=9.80m/s2.(That's s squared)
Also how far does my truck travel in this amount of time . Assume the free fall acceleration to be g=9.80 /s2 (That's s squared.)
