Homework Statement
A 12g coin slides upward on a surface that is inclined at an angle of 14degrees above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the coin and the surface is 0.25; the coefficient of static friction is 0.40. Find the magnitude of the force of friction when the coin is sliding. Find the magnitude of the force of friction when the coin comes to rest.
Homework Equations
I found the magnitude of friction when the coin was sliding using the equation N=mgcostheta, and then plugging N into fs=muk*N. Would the same equation not tell me my magnitude of friction after the coin has stopped?
