Jasmine is cycling at 12 m s−1 when her bag falls off the back of her bicycle.The bag slides a distance of 9 m before coming to rest. Calculate the coefficient of friction between the bag and the road.
The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object by the net force is equal to the change in its kinetic energy:
Given
The coefficient of friction between the bag and the road is 0.8155.
