You are working in a shoe test laboratory measuring the coefficients of friction for running shoes on a variety of surfaces. The

shoes are pushed against the surface with a downward force of 400 N, and a sample of the surface material is then pulled out from under the shoe by a machine. The machine pulls with a force of 300 N before the material begins to slide. When the material is sliding, the machine only has to pull with a force of 200 N to keep the material moving. What is the coefficient of static friction between the shoe and the material

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

Since the static frictional force is the maximum force applied just before sliding, our frictional force, F is 300 N.

Since F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = normal force = 400 N (which is the downward force applied against the surface).

So, μ = F/N

= 300 N/400 N

= 3/4

= 0.75

So, the  coefficient of static friction μ = 0.75

Please help!How is constant or uniform acceleration used to explain free fall?
garik1379 [7]
Free fall is a special case of motion with constant acceleration, because acceleration due to gravity is always constant and downward. For example, when a ball is thrown up in the air, the ball's velocity is initially upward.

Which best explains how an object at rest deep in space and far from any massive body behaves compared to an object in free fall
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: They behave the same because, according to the principle of equivalence, the laws of physics work the same in all frames of reference.

Explanation:

According to the equivalence principle postulated by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, acceleration in space and gravity on Earth have the same effects on objects.

To understand it better, regarding to the equivalence principle, Einstein formulated the following:  

A gravitational force and an acceleration in the opposite direction are equivalent, both have indistinguishable effects.  Because the laws of physics must be accomplished in all frames of reference.

Hence, according to general relativity, gravitational force and acceleration in the opposite direction (an object in free fall, for example) have the same effect.  This makes sense if we deal with gravity not as a mysterious atractive force but as a geometric effect of matter on spacetime that causes its deformation.
