Coefficients of Friction and Velocity
Not what you're looking for?
The coefficients of friction between the flatbed of a truck and crate are:
static friction = .8
kinetic friction = .7
The coefficient of friction between the road and the truck tires is .9. If the truck stops from an initial speed of 15 m/s with maximum braking (wheels skidding) determine the velocity of the crate after is has gone 3.2 m on the truck bed.
