A force of 36.0 N is required to start a 3.0-kg box moving across a horizontal concrete floor. Part A) What is the coefficient o

f static friction between the box and the floor? Express your answer using two significant figures. Part B) If the 36.0-N force continues, the box accelerates at 0.54 m/s^2. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

A) 1.2

B) 1.1

Explanation:

A)

F = force required to start the box moving = 36.0 N

m = mass of the box = 3 kg

F_{g}  = weight of the box = mg = 3 x 9.8 = 29.4 N

F_{n}  = normal force acting on the box by the floor

normal force acting on the box by the floor is given as

F_{n}  = F_{g} = 29.4

F_{s}  = Static frictional force = F = 36.0 N

\mu _{s} = Coefficient of static friction

Static frictional force is given as

F_{s}  = \mu _{s} F_{n}

36.0  = \mu _{s} (29.4)

\mu _{s} = 1.2

B)

a = acceleration of the box = 0.54 m/s²

F = force applied = 36.0 N

f_{k} = kinetic frictional force

\mu _{k} = Coefficient of kinetic friction

force equation for the motion of the box is given as

F - f_{k} = ma

36.0 - f_{k} = (3) (0.54)

f_{k} = 34.38 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction is given as

\mu _{k}=\frac{f_{k}}{F_{n}}

\mu _{k}=\frac{34.38}{29.4}

\mu _{k} = 1.1

What is a conductor
Soloha48 [4]

C. none of the above

An electrical conductor is a substance in which electrical charge carriers, usually electrons, move easily from atom to atom with the application of voltage. Conductivity, in general, is the capacity to transmit something, such as electricity or heat. ... Copper, steel, gold, aluminum, and brass are also good conductors.
