4. An 18.0-kg box is released on a 34⁰ incline and accelerates down the incline at 0.33 m/s². Find the friction force impeding its motion. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?
Gravitational force
In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is always attractive.
Acceleration Due to Gravity
In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the other hand, it has control over the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and in the universe due to its vast scope and universal action. The free fall of objects on Earth and the motions of celestial bodies, according to Newton, are both determined by the same force. It was Newton who put forward that the moon is held by a strong attractive force exerted by the Earth which makes it revolve in a straight line. He was sure that this force is similar to the downward force which Earth exerts on all the objects on it.
![-PROBLEMS-
FRICTION
Do the following problems. Draw FBDs.
Problems 1 - 4: Show work on a separate sheet.
Problem 5: Show work on the worksheet.
1. A 1.4-kg block slides across a rough surface such that it slows down
with an acceleration of 1.25 m/s2. What is the coefficient of kinetic
friction between the block and the surface?
2. At a wedding reception, you notice a small boy who looks like his mass
is about 25 kg running part way across the dance floor, then sliding on
his knees until he stops. If the kinetic coefficient of friction between
the boy's pants and the floor is 0.15, what is the friction force acting on
him when he slides?
3. Joshua is playing cards with his friends, and it is his turn to deal. A
card has a mass of 2.3 g, and it slides 0.35 m along the table before it
stops. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the card and the
table is 0.24, what was the initial speed of the card as it left Joshua's
hand?
4. An 18.0-kg box is released on a 34⁰ incline and accelerates down the
incline at 0.33 m/s². Find the friction force impeding its motion. What is
the coefficient of kinetic friction?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F38dc44a6-6ae7-4451-95af-3703b71d3f57%2F61deef3c-9471-4848-b779-a4488c17f7c2%2Fnpylb3e_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
