Finding magnitude of force (involving mass at velocity from rest in seconds with coef
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A certain force moves a 4kg box from rest to a velocity of 6m/s in 3 seconds. If the coefficient of friction between the box and floor is 0.05, what is the magnitude of the force? m=4kg v0=0 v=6m/s t=3s μk=0.05 2. Relevant equations a=v/t F0=mg P=Ft P=mv 3. The attempt at a solution a=(6)/(3)=2m/s F0=(4)(9.8)=39.2N Pc=(39.2)(3)=117.6 P=(4)(6)=24 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution |

You've found the acceleration. Can you use that to find the net force, and then, from there, the unknown applied force? You don't need momentum or impulse for this problem. |
