An experiment is conducted where a metal ramp is placed on a level surface, with the ramp’s surface at 37 degrees to the horizontal. A 1.00kg block is placed 3.00m above the surface initially at rest and allowed to slide down to the bottom. The velocity at the bottom of the ramp is found to be 5.62m/s. Estimate the coefficient of kinetic friction for the ramp

Static and Kinetic Friction

Kinetic friction comes into existence when there are moving surfaces means in other words we can say that the force which comes into existing between moving surfaces is known as kinetic friction.
