A student slides a 0.75 kg textbook across a table, and it comes to rest after traveling 1.2 m. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the table is 0.34, use the work–kinetic energy theorem to find the book’s initial speed.

The average atmospheric pressure on earth is approximated as a function of altitude by the relation patm = 101.325 (1 − 0.02256z)5.256, where patm is the atmospheric pressure in kpa, and z is the altitude in km with z = 0 at sea level. determine the approximate atmospheric pressures at atlanta (z = 306 m), denver (z = 1610 m), mexico city (z = 2309 m), and the top of mount everest (z = 8848 m).
