  2. Finding coefficient of static friction with velocity and radius

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/finding-coefficient-of-static-friction-with...

    To find the coefficient of static friction, you can use the formula µ = v^2/rg, where µ is the coefficient of static friction, v is the velocity, r is the radius, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. This formula assumes that the object is moving in a circular path with a constant speed. 2. Can I use any unit for velocity and radius when ...

    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.

    1. What is the formula for finding velocity with given information? The formula for finding velocity (v2) with given coefficient of friction (µ), distance (d), mass (m), and initial velocity (v1) is v2 = v1 + √ (2µgd/m), where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). 2.

  6. Ladder Leaning against wall -- find the coefficient of friction

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/ladder-leaning-against-wall-find-the-coefficient...

    In summary, the problem involves finding the coefficient of friction between a ladder leaning against a wall at angle θ and the floor, with the ladder being L meters long and having a mass of m. The problem assumes that there is no friction at the top of the ladder. The equations used to solve this problem include ΣFx = 0, ΣFy = 0, and Στ ...

    To find the minimum coefficient of friction, we can use the formula Ff = μN, where Ff is the force of friction, μ is the coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force. In this case, the normal force is equal to the force needed to keep the child in the circular path, which we found to be 223.976445 N in part 2.
