Mr. Griffith's car battery died, resulting in his car not being able to start. Mr. Griffith's roommates were all sleeping soundly and he did not have the heart to wake them up, so he decided to walk to school. If Mr. Griffith lives 1.5 miles from the school and can walk at an average speed of 0.5 miles/minute, how long will it take Mr. Griffith to get to school from his house?

To practice problem-solving strategy 10.1 for energy conservation problems. a sled is being held at rest on a slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. after the sled is released, it slides a distance d1 down the slope and then covers the distance d2 along the horizontal terrain before stopping. find the coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the sled and the ground, assuming that it is constant throughout the trip.
