    The formula for solving for distance using only initial velocity and coefficient of friction is: d = (vi)2 / 2μg, where d is the distance, vi is the initial velocity, μ is the coefficient of friction, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. How do you determine the coefficient of friction for a given surface?

    To find the coefficient of friction surely you would need some other forces, and not just the dimensions of the ramp. N = Wcosθ, and F = W sinθ. So the coefficient of static friction is F/N, which is simply tanθ. And tanθ = opp/adj = height/base = a/b. A right, yeah thanks for that Tim.

    To determine the acceleration of the car, you can use the equation Vf^2=Vo^2 +2aΔx and calculate the acceleration to be -7.53 m/s^2. To determine the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road, you can use the equation Ff=μmg and set it equal to Ff=ma. By canceling out the mass and solving for μ, you can.

  6. Coefficient of Friction formula - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/coefficient-of-friction-formula.163184

    The coefficient of friction formula is used in various fields, such as engineering, physics, and materials science, to understand and predict the behavior of objects and surfaces in contact. It is used to design and improve products, determine the maximum load a surface can withstand, and calculate the required force to move an object.

    You should use the friction formula Fn × μ when you are calculating the frictional force between two surfaces in contact. Here, Fn represents the normal force, which is the perpendicular force exerted by the surface on the object, and μ is the coefficient of friction. This formula is typically used to determine the maximum static friction or ...

  8. I'm trying to work a physics problem about how to find the coefficient of static friction between two objects when given the initial velocity and distance. Specifically, the problem I am working is as follows:

  9. Find Friction Coefficient given initial and final velocity?

    math.stackexchange.com/questions/2404018

    Friction is (at a first approximation) a pressure tangential to the surface of contact between two bodies, directed against the movement, and proportional to the contact pressure, by the coefficient of friction μ μ. Thus totally it is equal to μmg μ m g, and will exert a deceleration equal to μg μ g. The law of accelerated motion gives v1 ...

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/finding-displacement-with-coefficient-of...

    To calculate displacement, you will need to use the formula: displacement = (mass * velocity^2) / (2 * coefficient of friction). This formula takes into account the mass of the object, its velocity, and the coefficient of friction, which represents the resistance to motion. 2.

    The coefficient of friction on a banked curve can be calculated using the formula: μ = tanθ, where μ is the coefficient of friction and θ is the angle of the banked curve. This formula assumes that the vehicle is moving at a constant speed and does not rely on the mass or weight of the vehicle. 3.
