As we learnt in

Kinetic or Dynamic Friction -

f_{K}\;\alpha\ R

f_{K}=\mu_{K} R

f_{K}= kinetic friction 

\mu_{K}= coefficient of kinetic friction

R = reaction

- wherein

f_{K}<F_{l}

\therefore\ \mu_{K}<\mu_{s}

\mu_{K}=depends on the nature of surface in contact.

 

 

 

: Frictional force provides the retarding force

\therefore\: \: \: \mu mg=ma

or     \mu=\frac{a}{g}= \frac{u/t}{g}= \frac{6/10}{10}= 0.06
