A string is being pulled with a force of 20 N and moves a 5 kg block to the left at a constant speed. What is the coefficient of

friction for between the floor and the block? Enter your answer as a decimal value (Example: 0.72) * I think the answer is 20 but this question is starting frustrating me

Answer:

μ = 0.4

Explanation:

As, the object is moving at a constant speed. Therefore, the unbalanced force on it must be equal to zero. So, the frictional force on the object must be equal to the force applied to it:

F = frictional force

F = μR = μW = μmg

where,

F = Applied Force  = 20 N

μ = coefficient of friction between wall and floor = ?

m = mass of block = 5 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

20 N = μ(5 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

μ = 20 N/49 N

<u>μ = 0.4</u>

san4es73 [151]

Answer: so when a turbine converts the K.E and the potential of any moving fluid (more likely liquid or gas) to energy. once the proc is started the turbine generato, the fluid such as water, steam, combus gasses, or air pushes s big series of blades that have mounted on a shaft, which then will rotate the shaft that’s conn to the generator
