Answer:
The static and kinetic coefficients of friction are 0.273 and 0.181, respectively.
Explanation:
By Newton's Laws of Motion and definition of maximum friction force, we derive the following two formulas for the static and kinetic coefficients of friction:
[tex]\mu_{s} = \frac{f_{s}}{m\cdot g}[/tex] (1)
[tex]\mu_{k} = \frac{f_{k}}{m\cdot g}[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]\mu_{s}[/tex] - Static coefficient of friction, no unit.
[tex]\mu_{k}[/tex] - Kinetic coefficient of friction, no unit.
[tex]f_{s}[/tex] - Static friction force, in newtons.
[tex]f_{k}[/tex] - Kinetic friction force, in newtons.
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass, in kilograms.
[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational constant, in meters per square second.
If we know that [tex]f_{s} = 83\,N[/tex], [tex]f_{k} = 55\,N[/tex], [tex]m = 31\,kg[/tex] and [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], then the coefficients of friction are, respectively:
[tex]\mu_{s} = \frac{83\,N}{(31\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}[/tex]
[tex]\mu_{s} = 0.273[/tex]
[tex]\mu_{k} = \frac{55\,N}{(31\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}[/tex]
[tex]\mu_{k} = 0.181[/tex]
The static and kinetic coefficients of friction are 0.273 and 0.181, respectively.
ACCORDING TO NEWTON'S THIRD LAW EVERY ACTION HAS EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION BUT THEN WHY DON'T WE FLY WHEN WE FART??
Answer:
Your fart only has so much force, not nearly enough to launch you into oblivion. Your fart and you still exert a force onto each other, so I guess, hypothetically, you could fly if you really, really try hard enough. Just make sure you don't try too hard and prolapse as a result :)
