Brittney is walking through the cafeteria but does not realize that Jesse, who was in line in front of her, has just spilled his carton of chocolate milk. As Brittney, who weighs 535 N, steps in the milk, the coefficient of kinetic friction between her shoe and the floor is suddenly reduced to 0.040. What is the friction force between Brittney and the slippery floor?
So would i use the equation for kinetic friction? Kinetic friction = coefficient of kinetic friction x normal force?
