Junior slides across home plate during a baseball game. if he has a mass of 115 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between him and the ground is 0.35, what is the force of friction acting on him?

Weight Force of Junior = m g = 115kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 1128.15N then compute for the friction force

Friction Force= WF x (coefficient of kinetic friction) = 1128.15N x 0.35 =  394.8525N or 395N

But you can compute in a straightway:

Solution:

= 115 x 9.81 x 0.35

= 394.85

= 395 N

It will still give the same results.

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it
