49. A block is pushed across a horizontal surface with a
coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15 by applying a
150 N horizontal force.
(a) The block accelerates at the rate of 2.53 m/s2
Find the mass of the block.

(b) The block slides across a new surface while
experiencing the same applied force as before.
The block now moves with a constant speed.
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between
the block and the new surface?

Answer:

(a) 37.5 kg

(b) 4

Explanation:

Force, F = 150 N

kinetic friction coefficient = 0.15

(a) acceleration, a = 2.53 m/s^2

According to the newton's second law

Net force = mass x acceleration

F - friction force = m a

150 - 0.15 x m g = m a

150 = m (2.53 + 0.15 x 9.8)

m = 37.5 kg

(b) As the block moves with the constant speed so the applied force becomes the friction force.

[tex]F = \mu m g \\\\150 = \mu\times 37.5\\\\\mu = 4[/tex]
