A particle is projected up a rough plane at a given speed. Given the angle of the slope and the coefficient friction, find the distance the particle travels before it comes to instantaneous rest.

A block of given mass is sits on a flat plane with defined static and kinetic friction values. Randomly, it does one of two things, it is either:

1) pushed with enough force to start it moving - calculate the force on the block or the static friction.

2) moving over a distance - calculate the work done or the kinetic friction

(are these uneven calculations)

A mass is resting on a rough plane. Given the angle of the plane and the mass of the object, find the normal reaction force and hence the coefficient of friction.

A block lies on rough horizontal ground. The coefficient of friction is given and students find the maximum value of friction $F_{\text{MAX}} = \mu R$. This is then used to determine the magnitude of force that must be exceeded to achieve movement when the force is applied horizontally and at two different angles to the horizontal.

A block lies on rough horizontal ground. The coefficient of friction is given and students find the maximum value of friction $F_{\text{MAX}} = \mu R$ to determine if the block will move when three different magnitudes of force act on the block horizontally.

Finding the acceleration of a particle on an inclined plane which is at an angle to the horizontal. Smooth then with value for coefficient of friction.

Given the gradient of a slope and the coefficient of friction for a mass resting on it, use the equations of motion to calculate how it moves.
