A 16.0 kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a horizontal force of 25.0 N. Starting from rest, the sled attains a speed of 1.00 m/s in 8.00 m. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snow. You Answered

Answer:

[tex]\mu_k = 0.15[/tex]

Explanation:

according to the kinematic equation

[tex]v^{2} - u^{2} = 2aS[/tex]

Where

u is initial velocity  = 0 m/s

a = acceleration

S is distance = 8.00 m

final velocity = 1.0 m/s

[tex]a = \frac {v^{2}}{2S}[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac {1{2}}{2*8.6}[/tex]

a = 0.058 m/s^2

from newton second law

Net force = ma

[tex]f_{net} = ma[/tex]

F - f = ma

2[tex]5 - \mu_kN = ma[/tex]

[tex]25 - \mu_kmg = ma[/tex]

[tex]\frac {25 - ma}{mg} =\mu_k[/tex]

[tex]\frac {25 - 16*0.058}{16*9.81} = 0.15[/tex]

[tex]\mu_k = 0.15[/tex]
