A moving object, with a weight of 250N has a friction force of 100N exerted on it. What is the coefficient of friction if the normal force is 150N?

To determine the coefficient of friction, we can use the formula:

Coefficient of friction (μ) = Friction force (Ff) / Normal force (Fn)

In this case, the friction force (Ff) is given as 100N, and the normal force (Fn) is given as 150N. Plugging these values into the formula, we have:

μ = 100N / 150N

Simplifying the expression:

μ = 2/3 ≈ 0.67

Therefore, the coefficient of friction in this scenario is approximately 0.67.
