e Questions 1. Should the results of your experimental Coefficient of Static Friction for the Wooden Block for the wooden block (Data Table 1) and the wooden block with the added mass (Data Table 2) be similar? Explain why or why not. Determine whether the results of the experiment are within a reasonable experimental error (< 10%) by calculating the % difference. 2. Should the results of your experimental Coefficient of Static Friction for the Wooden Block with sandpaper (Data Table 3) and the wooden block with sandpaper and added mass (Data Table 4) be similar? Explain why or why not. Determine whether the results of the experiment are within a reasonable experimental error (< 10%) by calculating the % difference. 3. Draw and label a free-body diagram that shows the forces acting on the wooden block at the point the limiting friction was reached. 4. It takes a force of 27.2 N to push a 12.5 kg box horizontally with a constant speed over concrete. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the concrete? 5. The following data was collected for a friction experiment in which an object was observed moving at constant speed over a surface. (a) Graph the Applied Force versus the Normal Force and determine the coefficient of friction. (b) Is this value the coefficient of kinetic friction or the coefficient of static friction?
