Answer:

The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Friction Force

When an object is moving and encounters friction in rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and/or velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:


Fr=\mu N

Where μ is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W

Thus, the friction force is:


Fr=\mu W

Kiera, the W=330 N girl steps in water that has a coefficient of friction of μ=0.028 with the floor.

The kinetic friction force is:

Fr = 0.028*330

Fr = 9.24 N

The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N
