17N.2.SL.TZ0.1f
A girl on a sledge is moving down a snow slope at a uniform speed.
(f)
The coefficient of static friction between the sledge and the snow is 0.14. Outline, with a calculation, the subsequent motion of the sledge.
[2]
Markscheme
calculates a maximum value for the frictional force = «μR=» 7.5 «N»
sledge will not move as the maximum static friction force is greater than the component of weight down the slope
Allow correct conclusion from incorrect MP1
Allow 7.5 > 6.1 so will not move
