the coefficient of kinetic friction between a couch and the floor is 0.65. if the couch has a mass of 42 kg and you push it with

a force 600 N, what is the net force in the couch as it slides
Physics

Explanation:

The net force along the horizontal direction is

\sum{F_x} = F_{applied} - f

where f is the frictional force. We can find the frictional force by looking at the vertical forces acting on the couch:

\sum{F_y} = N - mg = 0 \Rightarrow N = mg

From the definition of frictional force,

f = \mu{N} = \mu{mg} = (0.65)(42\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)

\:\:\:\:= 267.5\:\text{N}

Therefore, the net force on the couch is

\sum{F_x} = 600\:\text{N} - 267.5\:\text{kN} = 332.5\:\text{N}

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

30m/s

Explanation:

  • Use formula for height calculation: Time = √2h/√g
  • From here calculate height which comes out to be: 45m(if g is taken 10)
  • Then use formula for velocity calculation: v = √2gh

  • The velocity comes out to be 30m/s
