The force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 12N. The weight of the object is 20N. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

Respuesta :

Answer: 0.6

Explanation: I don't know the explanation and i don't know how to find the answer but i promise the answer is 0.6

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface is 0.6

The formula for calculating the force of friction is expressed as:

[tex]F = \mu R[/tex]

F is the frictional force

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction

For the object on the surface, its weight is equal to the normal reaction and the frictional force is equal to the moving force;

W = R = 20N

F = Fm = 12N

From the equation above:

[tex]\mu =\frac{F}{R} \\\mu = \frac{12}{20}\\\mu = 0.6[/tex]

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface is 0.6
