To find the applied force, you can use the formula F = ma, where F is the applied force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration. You will also need to take into account the coefficient of kinetic friction, which can be found in a reference table or experimentally determined.
The applied force is affected by the mass of the object, the coefficient of kinetic friction, and the acceleration. Other factors such as surface roughness and air resistance may also play a role.
No, you will also need to know the acceleration or have a way to measure it. The coefficient of kinetic friction alone cannot determine the applied force.
The coefficient of kinetic friction is a measure of the frictional force between two surfaces in motion. A higher coefficient of kinetic friction means there is more resistance to motion, so a greater applied force is needed to overcome it.
Yes, the applied force is the force being exerted on the object, while the force of kinetic friction is the force resisting the motion of the object. The applied force must be greater than the force of kinetic friction in order for the object to move.
