The maximum force of static friction is the product of normal force (P) and the coefficient of static friction (c). In a flat surface, normal force is equal to the weight (W) of the body.
P = W = mass x acceleration due to gravity
P = (0.3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 kg m/s² = 2.94 N
Solving for the static friction force (F),
F = P x c
F = (2.94 N) x 0.6 = 1.794 N
Therefore, the maximum force of static friction is 1.794 N.
Answer:
3.06m/s² to the east
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of car = 2.5 x 10³kg
Force acting on the car = 7.65 x 10³N
Unknown:
Acceleration of the car = ?
Solution:
From Newton's second law of motion:
Force = mass x acceleration
Acceleration = 
= 
= 3.06m/s² to the east
v = v₀ + at
v = final speed, v₀ = initial speed, a = acceleration, t = elapsed time
Given values:
v₀ = 0m/s (starts from rest), a = 9.81m/s², t = 3s
Plug in and solve for v:
v = 0 + 9.81(3)
v = 29.4m/s
