Question

A physics major is cooking breakfast when he notices that the frictional force between the steel spatula and the Teflon frying pan is only 0.400 N. Knowing the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials (0.04), he quickly calculates the normal force. What is it (in N)? N

Answer 1

normal force = 10 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

frictional force = 0.400 N

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.04

Solution

we get here normal force that is express as

normal force =
`(Frictional\ force)/(coefficient\ of\ friction)` ............1

put here value and we will get value

normal force =
`(0.400)/(0.04)`

solve it we get

normal force = 10 N
