A cat is dashing through the house at 4.31 m/s when it comes to a linoleum floor. The cat skids to a stop in 3.75 m. What is the
coefficient of sliding friction between the cat and the linoleum?

Answer:
= 3,126 m / s
Explanation:
In a crash exercise the moment is conserved, for this a system formed by all the bodies before and after the crash is defined, so that the forces involved have been internalized.
the car has a mass of m = 1.50 kg a speed of v1 = 4.758 m / s and the mass of the train is M = 3.60 kg and its speed v2 = 2.45 m / s
Before the crash
p₀ = m v₁₀ + M v₂₀
After the inelastic shock
= m
+ M
p₀ =
m v₀ + M v₂₀ = m + M
We cleared the end of the train
M = m (v₁₀ - v1f) + M v₂₀
Let's calculate
3.60 v2f = 1.50 (2.15-4.75) + 3.60 2.45
= (-3.9 + 8.82) /3.60
= 1.36 m / s
As we can see, this speed is lower than the speed of the car, so the two bodies are joined
set speed must be
m v₁₀ + M v₂₀ = (m + M)
= (m v₁₀ + M v₂₀) / (m + M)
= (1.50 4.75 + 3.60 2.45) /(1.50 + 3.60)
= 3,126 m / s
