Question

PLEASE HELP!!! A student pushes horizontally eastward on a 1.2 kg textbook initially resting 1.3 m from the edge of a long table. The coefficient of static friction is 0.24 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.18. The force is just large enough to get the book to start moving, and is maintained for 1.0s after the motion has begun. How do I determine the book's acceleration while it is sliding on its own, and draw a free body diagram of the book after the push is removed and the book is sliding on its own?

Answer 1

μ
s = 0.24
μ
K = 0.18
m = 1.2 kg
g = 9.8 N/kg
Fa = 2.8 N [E]
a = 0.58 m/s^2 [E]
Vmax = 0.58 m/s^2 [E]

Answer 2

Perhaps you could post this in the physics section and get more help.
