Work and Energy - Force of Friction and Kinetic Friction
Question: A box of mass m = 20.0 kg is pushed at a constant speed of v = 2.5 m/s, and by a force F = 25.0 N along the horizontal plane. Show the algebraic steps:
a) What is the force of friction between the box and the surface?
b) What is the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction?
Solution Summary
