In general, how does the coefficient of static friction compare to the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same two materials?

Awoman stands a distance d from a loud motor that emits sound uniformly in all directions. the sound intensity at her position is an uncomfortable 2.0×10-3 w/m2. at a distance 2.6 times as far from the motor, what are (a) the sound intensity and (b) the sound intensity level relative to the threshold of hearing?

The uniform slender bar rests on a smooth horizon- tal surface when a force f is applied normal to the bar at point a. point a is observed to have an initial acceleration aa of 20 m/s2, and the bar has a corre- sponding angular acceleration of 18 rad /s2. deter- mine the distance b.

Ball bearings are made by letting spherical drops of molten metal fall inside a talll tower-called a shot tower- and solidify as they fall. a-if a bearing needs 4.0 s to solidify enough for impact, how high must the tower be? b- what is the bearing's impact velocity?
