1. If you use an applied force of 45N to slide a 12Kg wooden crate across a floor at a constant velocity, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor?

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.38 (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Applied force = 45 N

Mass of wooden crate = 12 kg

Find:

Coefficient of kinetic friction

Computation:

Coefficient of kinetic friction = Applied force / (Mass)(Acceleration due to gravity)

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 45 / (12)(9.8)

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 45 / 117.6

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.3826

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.38 (Approx.)

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
