Question

When you push a 1.70 kg book resting on a tabletop it takes 2.60 N to start the book sliding. Once it is sliding, however, it takes only 1.50 N to keep the book moving with constant speed. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the book and the tabletop?

Answer 1

A 747 jetliner lands and begins to slow to a stop as it moves along the runway. The mass is 3.8 105 kg, its speed is 25.9 m/s, and the net braking force is 4.27 105 N.
