Intermolecular forces are forces that keep molecules together. For example, the forces between two water molecules. The stronger the intermolecular forces are, the more "solid" is the matter going to be, meaning that the intermolecular forces are the strongest in solids and weakest in gases.
Make sure not to confuse intERmolecular forces (forces between *molecules*) and intRAmolecular forces (forces between *atoms* that make up a molecule).
Answer:

Explanation:
First, we write the equations of motion for each axis. Since the crate is sliding with constant speed, its acceleration is zero. Then, we have:

Where T is the tension in the rope, F is the force exerted by the first worker, f_k is the frictional force, N is the normal force and mg is the weight of the crate.
Since
and
, we can rewrite the first equation as:

Now, we solve for
and calculate it:

This means that the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor is 0.18.
Answer:
15.7 m
Explanation:
m = mass of the sled = 125 kg
v₀ = initial speed of the sled = 8.1 m/s
v = final speed of sled = 0 m/s
F = force applied by the brakes in opposite direction of motion = 261
d = stopping distance for the sled
Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem
- F d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)
- (261) d = (0.5) (125) (0² - 8.1²)
d = 15.7 m
