Answer:
a = 0.1962 m/s^2
Explanation:
The magnitude of kinetic friction exerted is given by
Where, μ_k= coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.02 and N = reaction force = mg
Where m= mass = 30 Kg and, g is acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/s^2
F_k=0.02×30×9.81 =5.886 N
Now, since, there is no applied force this kinetic friction force will cause acceleration of the child
⇒ ma = F_k
here, a is the acceleration
⇒30a = 5.886
⇒ a = 0.1962 m/s^2
