Answer:
Explanation:
a) Force of friction = μ R where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction force
R = mg where m is mass of the block
Force of friction F = μ x mg
= .173 x 12.2 x 9.8
= 20.68 N
b ) Only force of friction is acting on the body so
deceleration = force / mass = 20.68 / 12.2 = 1.7 m /s²
acceleration = - 1.7 m /s²
c )
v² = u² - 2 a s
v = 0 , u = 3.9 m /s
a = 1.7 m /s
0 = 3.9² - 2 x 1.7 x s
s = 4.47 m
Answer:
μ = 0.33
Equal to 3.2 m/s²
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram of the block. There are three forces:
Normal force N pushing up.
Weight force mg pulling down.
Friction force Nμ pushing opposite the direction of motion.
Sum of forces in the y direction.
∑F = ma
N − mg = 0
N = mg
Sum of forces in the x direction.
∑F = ma
Nμ = ma
Substitute.
mgμ = ma
μ = a/g
μ = (3.2 m/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)
μ = 0.33
As found earlier, the acceleration is a = gμ. Since g and μ are constant, a is also constant, so it does not change with velocity.
