A book that slides across a level, carpeted floor with an initial speed of 3.25 m/s and comes to rest after 3.25 m, has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.166.

A book slides across a level, carpeted floor with an initial speed (u) of 3.25 m/s. It comes to rest (final speed = v = 0m/s) after 3.25 m (s).

Since this is a uniformly decelerated rectilinear motion, we can calculate the acceleration (a) using the following kinematic expression.

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as\\\\(0m/s)^{2} = (3.25m/s)^{2} + 2a(3.25m)\\\\a = -1.63 m/s^{2}$

The negative sign only explains that the friction opposes the movement. We can calculate the force exerted by the friction (F) using Newton's second law of motion.

$F = m \times a$ [1]

where,

m: mass of the book

We can also calculate the force of friction using the following expression.

$F = k \times N = k \times m \times g$ [2]

where,

k: coefficient of kinetic frictionN: normal forceg: gravity (9.81 m/s²)

Given [1] = [2], we get,

$m \times a = k \times m \times g\\\\k = \frac{1.63 m/s^{2} }{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 0.166$

This question involves the concepts of the equations of motion, Newton's Second Law, and Frictional Force.

The coefficient of kinetic friction is found to be "0.15".

First, we will use the third equation of motion to find out the acceleration of the book:

$2as = v_f^2-v_i^2\\$

where,

a = acceleration = ?

s = distance covered = 3.25 m

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 3.25 m/s

Therefore,

$2a(3.25\ m) = (0\ m/s)^2-(3.25\ m/s)^2\\\\a=\frac{-10.56\ m^2/s^2}{7\ m/s}$

a = - 1.51 m/s² (negative sign indicates deceleration)

Now the force can be calculated using Newton's Second Law of motion:

F = ma

This force is also equal to the frictional force:

F = μmg

comparing both forces, we get:

ma = μmg

a = μg

$\mu = \frac{a}{g} = \frac{1.51\ m/s^2}{9.81\ m/s^2}$

μ = 0.15

Answer from: Quest

because it says use -2,0,and 2 for x, we can plug those numbers into the equation. y/4=3/4(-2)+2 y/4= -1 1/2 +2 now to get x by itself, we can multiply each side by 4. y=-6+8 which equals y=2 when x=-2. now you can do the same thing with 0 and 2 as x. you get y=8 when x=0 and y=14 when x=2.

x | y

-2 | 2

0 | 8

2 | 14

Create a table of x and y values for the expression y/4=3/4x+2. use the x values of -2,0, and 2. i n
