Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–II: Problem 2_E

In a pickup game of dorm shuffleboard, students crazed by final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallway. If the 3.5 kg book is pushed from rest through a distance of 0.90 m by the horizontal 25 N force from the broom and then has a speed of 1.60 m/s, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and floor?

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 3.5 kg, 0.90 m, 25 N, 1.60 m
