.125 kg piece of rubber slows down from 20 m/s to 10m/s as it slides along ice for 102 meters calculate the force of friction

-0.18 N

Explanation:

The motion of the piece of rubber is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find its acceleration using the suvat equation:

where:

v = 10 m/s is the final speed

u = 20 m/s is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

s = 102 m is the distance  covered

Solving for a,

The net force acting on the piece of rubber is the force of friction; according to Newton's second law of motion, the force is equal to the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

Here we have

m = 0.125 kg is the mass

Therefore, the force of friction is:

And the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of motion.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
