Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

F-Fr=ma where F is applied force, Fr is friction, m is mass and a is acceleration.

Since the mass is moving with a constant velocity, there's no acceleration hence

$F=Fr=\mu N$ where N is the weight of object and \mu is coefficient of kinetic friction.

$F=\mu N and making [tex]\mu$ the subject

$\mu=\frac {F}{N}$

Substituting F for 8 N and N for 20 N

$\mu=\frac {8}{20}=0.4$

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4

<span>d The mass is doubled which means that both the momentum and kinetic energy are also doubled. Also the normal force that's acting along with the coefficient of kinetic friction is also doubled. So the friction that's working to slow down the crate is doubled. So the crate will have double the kinetic energy that needs to be dissipated, but the rate of dissipation is also doubled, so the total time required to dissipate the kinetic energy is the same. And since both crates start out with the same velocity and since they'll lose energy (and velocity) at the same proportional rate, they'll take the same distance to slide to a stop.</span>
