Question

our 3.80-kg physics book is placed next to you on the horizontal seat of your car. The coefficient of static friction between the book and the seat is 0.650, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.550. You are traveling forward at 72.0 km/h and brake to a stop with constant acceleration over a distance of 30.0 m. Your physics book remains on the seat rather than sliding forward onto the floor. Is this situation possible

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Maximum force of friction possible = μmg

= .65 x 3.8 x 9.8

= 24.2 N

u = 72 x 1000 / 60 x 60

= 20 m /s

v² = u² - 2as

a = 20 x 20 / (2 x 30)

= 6.67 m / s²

force acting on it

= 3.8 x 6.67

= 25.346 N

Friction force possible is less .

So friction will not be able to prevent its slippage

It will slip off .
