Physics

To find the frictional force acting on the object sliding at a constant speed, we can use the formula for kinetic friction:

 

Where:

is the frictional force.

is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

is the normal force.

 

1. Determine the normal force ():

Since the object is on a horizontal surface and there are no vertical forces acting on it other than its weight, the normal force is equal to the weight of the object:
