GIVING OUT MEDALS N BECOMING A FAN:)))) A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s2. If the student uses a force of 15 N, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the floor?

Do u want the answer only or with the working?

OpenStudy (surry99):

draw a FBD of the box to start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is 3/28 and here's hhiw to do it:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Force-friction=mass * acceleration. Plug in the given values to find friction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find reaction force by 12g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then coefficient = f/r
