A crate slides across a floor for
before coming to rest
from its original position.
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction on the crate?
Susan is trying to push a crate across the floor. She observes that the force of friction between the crate and the floor is
. What is the coefficient of static friction?
Mary is trying to push a crate across the floor. She observes that the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the crate is equal to
. What will be the force of friction on the crate?
It takes of force to move a
block from rest. Assuming no outside forces act upon the block, what is the coefficient of static friction?
Erin pushes a cabinet across the floor. If it requires
of force, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction?
