The coefficient of kinetic friction between the slide and the child.
Answer to Problem 64P
Solution:
Coefficient of kinetic friction=0.51
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Angle of inclination,
Formula used:
From Newton’s second law of motion:
Where, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
Third equation of motion is:
Where, V is the final velocity,
Component of weight along the inclined plane is
Component of the weight perpendicular to the inclined plane is
Frictional force is:
Calculation:
For frictionless inclined plane:
For the inclined plane with friction:
Substitute the value from equation (1) into equation (2) and solve.
Conclusion:
Thus, the coefficient of the kinetic friction between the slide and the incline is 0.51.
