the coefficient of kinetic frition between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0.10. the mass of the object is 8.0 kg. what is the force of friction

Respuesta :

The force of friction is 0.8 N.

Friction is the force that prevents motion when the surface of one object comes into contact with the surface of another.

  • It also has the same SI unit as other forces have as Newton (N).
  • Frictional force can be calculated by the formula F = μ * Fn

μ  is the coefficient of friction between the surfaces which are in the contact.

Fn is the normal force acting on the object due to its mass.

Mass of the object = m = 8.0 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding  = 0.10

Frictional force = F = 8.0 * 0.10

F = 0.8 N

The force of friction is 0.8 N.
