A 0.50-kilogram puck sliding on a horizontal
shuffleboard court is slowed to rest by a
frictional force of 1.2 newtons. What is the
coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck
and the surface of the shuffleboard court?
(1) 0.24 (3) 0.60
(2) 0.42 (4) 4.1
-The u is what you are trying to find, also known as coefficient of friction. -Fn is your mass in Newtons, which is 0.5 x 9.8 which equals 4.9 -Fmax is your frictional force.
