A hockey puck has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = .35. If the puck feels a normal force (FN) of 5 N, what is the frict
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force is  F_f =  1.75 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The coefficient of kinetic force is  μk = 0.35

     The normal force felt by the puck is  F_N  =  5 \  N

Generally the frictional force that acts on the puck is mathematically represented as

          F_f =  \mu_k  *  F_N

=>       F_f =  0.35  *  5

=>       F_f =  1.75 \  N

A spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m is stretched 15cm. What is the force and energy associated with this stretching?
Olenka [21]
Data:
F (force) = ? (Newton)
k (<span>Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (</span>Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
F = k*x

Solving: 
F = k*x
F = 50*0.15
\boxed{\boxed{F = 7.5\:N}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Data:
E (energy) = ? (joule)
k (Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}

Solving:(Energy associated with this stretching)
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.15^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.0225}{2}
E =  \frac{1.125}{2}
\boxed{\boxed{E = 0.5625\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
