Question

A 53.0 kg sled is sliding on snow with μk=0.110. how much friction force does it feel?

Answer 1

Answer:

Force, F = 57.134 N  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the sled, m = 53 kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k=0.11$

We need to find the force of friction felt by sled. The force of friction is given by :

$F=\mu mg$

$F=0.11\times 53\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2$

F = 57.134 N

So, the force of friction felt by the sled is 57.134 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

57N

Explanation:

$F_F = \mu F_N = \mu mg = 0.11 \times 53 kg \times 9,8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$
