The change in potential energy of an object is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
is the increase in altitude of the object
In our problem,
is the mass of the book, 
and
is the increase in altitude of the book, so its variation of potential energy is
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
In our problem,
Answer:
Suppose two objects of different masses are moving with different velocities in the same direction on a straght-line before collision. After collision, they stick together and move with common (the same) velocity
Answer:
0.39
Explanation:
In order not to slide, you must have exactly the same acceleration of the train:
where
g = 9.81 m/s^2
There is only one force acting on you: the static frictional force that "pulls" you forward, and it is given by
According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on you (so, the frictional force) must be equal to your mass times the acceleration, so we have
from which we find
so, the minimum coefficient of static friction must be 0.39.
