Question: First proceed to the following webpage: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/forces-and-motion-basics/latest/forces-and-motion- basics_en.html 1. (COMPLETED) Object Force Friction Mass of Object (kg) Coefficient of Static Friction Box 125 50 0.255

First proceed to the following webpage: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/forces-and-motion-basics/latest/forces-and-motion- basics_en.html

1. (COMPLETED)

Object Force Friction Mass of Object (kg) Coefficient of Static Friction
Box 125 50 0.255
Box and Child 225 90 0.255
Box and Man 325 130 0.255
Box and Can 375 150 0.255

2. (COMPLETED)

125/(9.8 x 50) = 0.255

225/(9.8 x 90) = 0.255

325/(9.8 x 130) = 0.255

375/(9.8 x 150) = 0.255

The average is 0.255

3. (NEED HELP!!) Using similar methods as in questions #1 and #2, estimate the mass of the object in the present, the mystery mass. Include a description of the process and the mathematics of estimating the mass. Use the average coefficient of friction written in #2 to solve for the mystery mass.
