The document discusses friction problems involving calculating normal forces, coefficients of static and kinetic friction, and acceleration. It provides 6 example problems calculating the normal force on an object at rest, the force of friction on an object being pulled, the coefficient of friction from the force pulling an object, the coefficients of static and kinetic friction from the forces needed to initially move and then keep a chair moving, the force required by an engine to maintain a car's velocity given its mass and coefficient of friction, and calculating acceleration given the force applied and coefficient of friction.

1. A 7.6 kg object is resting on a horizontal surface. What is the normal force on
the object?
2. A 7.6 kg object is pulled along a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of
friction is 0.20, what is the force of friction?
3. A 20.0 N object is pulled along a horizontal surface at a constant velocity by a
3.0 N force, what is the coefficient of friction?
4. A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 165N horizontal
force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 127N horizontal force keeps it moving at a constant velocity. a. Find the coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor. b. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the floor. c. What happens to the coefficient of friction if the chair had a mass of 50kg?
5. A 950 kg car traveling at a constant velocity of 28 m/s, has a coefficient of
friction of 0.125 acting on its axle. How much force is required by the engine to maintain its speed?
6. If a 1500.0 N force is exerted on a 200.0 kg crate to move it across the floor. If
the coefficient of friction is .250, what is the crate's acceleration?
