An object of mass 12kg is sliding down an inclined plane of angle 40° at a constant speed. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction? Answer:
Added by William H.
Close
Step 1
This force can be calculated using the formula F = m*g*sin(θ), where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2), and θ is the angle of the incline. F = 12kg * 9.8m/s^2 * sin(40°) = 75.36N Since the object is Show more…

A block of mass 80 kg is sliding up an inclined plane with an initial velocity of 2.20 m/s. The plane is at an angle of 16.50° to the horizontal. Find the distance along the plane that the block will slide if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.7502.
