chegg a hockey puck on a frozen pond with an initial speed of 12.1 m/s stops after sliding a distance of 249.3 m. calculate the average value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice.



Answer :

The coefficient of kinetic friction is calculated from the values that have been given in the question to be 0.58.

What is the kinetic friction?

We define the kinetic friction as the friction that acts between two bodies that are moving over each other. Thus it acts when a body tends to slide over another body as we have seen.

We know that;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance covered

v^2 -  u^2 = 2as

μmg = ma

a = μ/g

μ = (12.1)^2/249.3

μ = 0.58
