A 60-N object is moving on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5. What is the frictional force acting on the object?
To find the frictional force acting on the object moving on a horizontal surface, 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, the normal force is equal to the weight of the object:
