Answer:

The coefficient of  kinetic friction = 0.026  

Explanation:

An 56 kg sled is being pulled across the snow, at constant speed,by a horizontal force of 15 N.

Here we have to note that the weight is pulled at a constant speed . This means that the net force acting on the weight is zero.

The external force acting on the body is in the forward direction and the friction acts in the backward direction.

Friction increases as the mass of the body increases.

Friction = u_{k}\times m \times g

We now equate this to the external force of 15 N.

15 = u_{k} \times 56 \times 10

u_{k} = \frac{15}{560}

u_{k} = 0.026

The coefficient of  kinetic friction = 0.026

What is the difference between exercise and fitness
evablogger [386]

I don't have research to back it up, but exercise is working out. Fitness is taking care of your body, that includes working out and things like eating right.

If you ran 15 km/h for 20 min, how much distance would you cover?
nikitadnepr [17]
Since we have 15 kilometers per hour, and we're looking for 20 minutes, let's set up proportions.
20/60 minutes = x/15
20/60 = 1/3, so let's leave that simplified.
1/3 = x/15
Look at the denominators, 3 to 15 is a factor of 5, so multiply the numerator by 5.
1 • 5 = 5, so you will cover 5 kilometers in 20 minutes.

I hope this helps!

A physics major is cooking breakfast when he notices that the frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel fry
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

N  = 6.67 N

Explanation:

The frictional or frictional force is a force that arises from the contact of two bodies and opposes movement.

The friction is due to imperfections and roughness, mainly microscopic, that exist on the surfaces of the bodies. Upon contact, these roughnesses engage with each other making movement difficult. To minimize the effect of friction, either the surfaces are polished or lubricated, since the oil fills the imperfections, preventing them from snagging.

As the frictional force depends on the materials and the force exerted on one another, its magnitude is obtained by the following expression:

f = μ*N    Formula (1)

where:  

f is the friction force  (N)

μ is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal force (N)

Data

f = 0.2 N : frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel frying pan

μ = 0.03 :coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials

Calculating of normal force

We replace data in the formula (1)

f = μ*N  

0.2  = 0.03*N  

N  = 0.2 / 0.03

N  = 6.67 N
