A 2.0-kg silverware drawer opens suddenly when the applied force reaches 9.0 N. The coefficient of static friction between the drawer and the cabinet is 0.46.

A drawer starts moving when the force applied is 9.0 N. At that moment, the force done by the person and the force of static friction are balanced. Thus the force of static friction (F) is 9.0 N.

We can calculate the coefficient of static friction (k) using the following expression.

$F = k \times N = k \times m \times g$

where,

N: normal forcem: mass of the drawerg: gravity (9.8 m/s²)

The coefficient of static friction is:

$k = \frac{F}{m \times g } = \frac{9.0N}{2.0kg \times (9.8m/s^{2} ) } = 0.46$

Answer from: episodegirl903

0.45

Explanation:

First note that the body that causes the body to move is its moving force (Fm) which is 9.0N

Since the mass of the body is 2.0kg, the weight will be;

W= mg = 2×10

W= 20N

For static body, the frictional force (Ff) acting on the body is equal to the moving force (Fm) since both forces acts along the horizontal on the body.

Ff = Fm = 9.0N

The normal reaction (R) on the body will also be equal to its weight(W) since weight acts downwards and the reaction acts in the opposite direction (upwards).

R = W = 20N

Ff = nR taking 'n' as coefficient of static friction between the drawer and the cabinet.

9.0 = 20n

n = 9/20

n = 0.45

some think that theories become laws, but theories and laws have separate and distinct roles in the scientific method. a law is a description of an observed phenomenon in the natural world that hold true every time it is tested. it doesn't explain why something is true; it just states that it is true.

Estimate the kinetic energy of mars with respect to the sun as the sum of two terms, that due to its daily rotation about its axis, and that due to its yearly revolution about the sun. (assume mars is a uniform sphere with mass = 6.4×10 to the power of 23 kg, radius = 3.4×10 to the power of 6 m, rotation period = 24.7 hours, orbital period = 686 days and is 2.3×10 to the power of 8 km from the sun.)
