2. Write out the final answer for the coefficient of friction as the average of the values in the table (average all of your coefficients of frictions, and write that average below).
Answer for question #2
The average is = 0.2559975 or 0.256

3. Using similar methods as in questions #1 and #2, estimate the mass of the object in the present, the mystery mass. Include a description of the process and the mathematics of estimating the mass. Use the average coefficient of friction written in #2 to solve for the mystery mass.


4. Set an object (anyone you choose) to be moving at a constant speed. Describe the procedure for keeping the object moving at a constant speed. Write down the speed at which the object is moving, as well.

Final Answer:

For question #2, the average coefficient of friction is calculated to be 0.256.

For question #3,Use the average coefficient of friction (0.256) along with the known values of force and gravity to determine the mystery mass.

For question #4, to maintain an object moving at a constant speed, ensure that the net force acting on the object is zero. This involves balancing the forces, where the force applied to overcome friction
\( F_{\text{applied}} \) equals the force of friction \( F_f \).

Step-by-step explanation:

For question #2, the average coefficient of friction is calculated by summing all the given coefficients of friction and dividing the total by the number of values provided. This calculation yields an average value of 0.256.

In question #3, estimating the mass of the object involves using the formula for frictional force
\( F_f = \mu * F_N \), where \( F_f \)is the frictional force,
\( \mu \) is the coefficient of friction, and \( F_N \) is the normal force. Rearranging this formula gives
\( m = (F_f)/(g) \), where \( m \)represents the mass and
\( g \)is the acceleration due to gravity. Given the average coefficient of friction (0.256), along with the known forces acting on the object and the gravitational constant, one can compute the mass of the object.

Regarding question #4, maintaining an object moving at a constant speed necessitates counterbalancing the force of friction by applying an equal and opposite force to keep the net force at zero. The speed at which the object moves remains constant when the applied force matches the frictional force. The specific speed of the object isn't explicitly stated; any constant speed is achievable by ensuring equilibrium between applied force and friction.
