Thumper (a rabbit) runs and jumps on a frozen lake, sliding at 8 m/s. He slides for 12 s before coming to a stop. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between Thumper and the ice

Respuesta :

The coefficient of kinetic friction between Thumper and the ice is determined as 0.1.

Coefficient of kinetic friction

The coefficient of kinetic friction between Thumper and the ice is determined as follows;

μk = a/g

where;

  • a is acceleration
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

a = v/t

a = 8/12

a = 0.667 m/s²

μk = a/g

μk = 0.667/9.8

μk = 0.1
