FRICTION

Friction is a force that opposes motion.

Given that Gwen exerts a 36 N horizontal force as she pulls a 52 N sled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed

  • At constant speed, acceleration a = 0
  • Force applied F = 36 N
  • The weight = Normal reaction N = 52

From Newton's law,

Sum of forces = ma

That is,

F - [tex]F_{r}[/tex] = ma

Where [tex]F_{r}[/tex]  = frictional force

F - [tex]F_{r}[/tex]  = 0

F = [tex]F_{r}[/tex]  = 36 N

[tex]F_{r}[/tex]  = μN

Where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

36 = μ x 52

μ = 36/52

μ = 0.69

Therefore, the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the sidewalk and the metal sled runners is 0.69 when we Ignore air resistance.
