    Finding the Coefficient of Friction

    Ahhh I wrote down the answer wrong once again.. sorry. It's .051 not .51 That's what I can't quite figure out past getting acceleration. Again sorry! I'm getting my numbers jumbled Ooh I also found in my book what some objects on surfaces have as coefficients of friction and...

    Finding the Coefficient of Friction

    Homework Statement An ice skater moving at 10.0 m/s coasts to a halt in 1.0 x 10^2 m on a smooth ice surface. What is the coefficient of friction between the ice and the skates? Homework Equations coefficeint of friction = kinetic friction/Normal force (µk = Fk/Fn) Σ Fy = may Σ Fx...
