Answer:

μ = 0.375

Explanation:

F = Applied force on the trash can = 75 N

W = weight of the trash can = 200 N

f = frictional force acting on trash can

Since the trash can moves at constant speed, force equation for the motion of can is given as

F - f = 0

75 - f = 0

f = 75 N

μ = Coefficient of friction

frictional force is given as

f = μ W

75 = μ (200)

μ = 0.375

A force of 80 N is exerted on an object on a frictionless surface for a distance of 4 meters. If the object has a mass of 10 kg,
solmaris [256]
There are two ways to find energy. Energy=F*d=mv^2. We can use this relationship to find v:
Fd=0.5mv^{2} \\ 80*4=0.5*10v^{2} \\ 64=v^{2} \\ v=8 m/s
