Question

A student repeats your lab but uses a penny and a book (instead of a washer and wooden ramp).

Their data is:

  • length of incline (book):  23 cm
  • initial velocity: 0 m/s
  • Angle of incline (book):  35
  • Times to slide down, 0.36, 0.36, 0.38, 0.36, 0.34 seconds

What is the coefficient of KINETIC friction for the penny and book interface?

Give your answer to 2 significant figures (2 decimal places)
