Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.02g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between your feet and the floor if you are not to slide?

A car can decelerate at -4.80m/s(2) without skidding when coming to rest on a level road. What would its deceleration be if the incline were at 13 degrees uphill?
Assume the same static friction coefficient.

The idea that that one law can cause another is called:
(a) probability
(b) causality
(c) kepler
(d) event

The product of the magnitude of the displacement times the component of the force parallel to the displacement is called:
(a) energy
(b) work
(c) joule
(d) force

Observations of the motion of bodies indicate that even if a body rotates, or there are several bodies that move relative to one another, there is a point that moves in the same in the same path that a particle would be subjected to the same net force. This point is called:
(a) gravitational center
(b) center of gravity
(c) center of matter
(d) center of mass

The angular acceleration, then, is proportional to the product of the force times the lever arm. This product is called the momentum of the force about the axis or more commonly called:
(a) radian
(b) force
(c) torque
(d) energy
