When a box of mass 45kg, is given an initial speed of 5ms-1 it slides along a horizontal floor a distance of 3m before coming to a rest. what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor? (G = 10ms-2)

a

\( \frac{5}{6} \)

b

\( \frac{5}{12} \)

c

\( \frac{1}{3} \)

d

\( \frac{2}{3} \)

Explanation:
Coefficient of friction=F/R
F=m×a
v²=u²+2as
0=5²+2×a×3
25=6a
a=4.167
F=45×4.167
F=187.515
R=45×10
R=450
Coefficient of friction=187.515/450=5/12=
0.4167

coefficient of friction=F/R
F=ma
v²=u²+2as
0=5²+2×a×3
25=6a
a=25/6
a=4.167
F=45×4.167
F=187.5
R=45×10=450
coefficient of friction=187.5/450=0.4167
5/12=0=4167
option B

Explanation:
Coefficient of friction=F/R
F=m×a
v²=u²+2as
0=5²+2×a×3
-25=6a
a=-4.167(deceleration) i.e=4.167
F=45×4.167
F=187.515
R=45×10
R=450
Coefficient of friction=187.515/450=5/12=
0.4167

using

1/2MV²=F*D
1/2*4.5*5²=F*3
F=18.75N

U=F/R
U=0.42
