Coefficient of Kinetic Friction lab question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the coefficients of kinetic friction for wood against rubber and steel against wood for a lab experiment. The user has struggled to locate these specific values despite extensive online searches. They have successfully found a helpful link but are still seeking the coefficient for rubber against wood. Participants are encouraged to provide known values or direct the user to reliable resources. Accurate coefficients are essential for completing the lab calculations effectively.

Hey,

New here so I don't know if I'm posting this in the right area if I'm not please redirect me. I have this lab on static and kinetic coefficients of friction. One of the discussion questions is what are the expected or known values for wood against rubber and steel against wood. Basically the lab was drag a rubber stopper and a metal puck across a wooden board and then calculate the coefficient (I know easy). But I can't find the coefficient of kinetic friction for each of those two and I've looke at 20 or 30 websites. So my question is could someone either point me in the right direction or show me a website that has the values because I'll need it for referencing.

Thanks a lot for that link it really helped. But does any possibly off the top of their head know what rubber against wood might be?

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
