Subclaims¶

q2 i? Non-linear regression of the sliding-block trajectory gave p1 = 0.117 m/s and p2 = −0.831 m/s², from which µ ≈ 0.169 was recovered, within the reported literature range µ ≈ 0.15–0.20. → Laura B. Alvarado-Cruz 2026

q2 · i? · design · r2

Parameter-interpretation analysis of Model 1 (constant friction) in the Results section. The parabolic x(t) fit of the sliding block yielded µ ≈ 0.169, which the article states is "consistent with the kinetic friction coefficient reported for wood sliding on smooth or waxed surfaces".

"The recovered value µ≈0.169 is consistent with the kinetic friction coefficient reported for wood sliding on smooth or waxed surfaces (µ≈0.15–0.20) [22–24]."
