A coin of mass 3 g slides horizontally on the surface of a table. The frictional force exerted on the penny is 0 . 0 1 4 7 N . What is the coefficient of friction between the table and the penny?

HAHAHA forgot to convert the gram
The formula for the Coefficient of Friction is μ = F N F f where:
F f = Force of Friction, and
F N is the Normal force.
Since the penny is sliding horizontally (perpendicular to the Force of Gravity), F N = F g = m a
Using mass in kg, and g as 9.8, we find:
μ = 0 . 0 0 3 × 9 . 8 0 . 0 1 4 7 = 0 . 5
thank u
frictional force=coefficient of friction * normal reaction.
The coefficient of friction ( u ), can be caluclated using the equation:
u = m ⋅ g F f
Using the given values, we get:
u = 0 . 0 0 3 ⋅ 9 . 8 0 . 0 1 4 7 = 0 . 5
f=uR u= coefficient of friction R=reaction force =mg m=0.003 kg g=9.8 m/s sq. 0.0147=u * 0.003 * 9.8 u=0.5
The formula for friction is f = k N , where k is the desired coefficient of friction and N is the normal force acting on the object. In this case, the normal force is gravity, because the coin is sliding horizontally. Thus, the normal force has magnitude 0 . 0 0 3 g newtons. Substituting, we get 0 . 0 1 4 7 = 0 . 0 0 3 g ⋅ N . Solving for N , we get N ≈ 0 . 5 .
as coefficient of friction is [(frictional force exerted)/(weight of object)] So,[(0.0147)/(0.003*9.8)]=0.5
Since friction is kinetic , thus
u m g = F = 0.0147 N
m = 0.003 kg
Putting the values and on solving we get u = 0.5 which is the coefficient of kinetic friction
F=Nu(meu) u=mg 3*9.8=29.4 kgm/s2 F=Nu F/N=u 0.0147/29.4=0.5
Frictional force can be expressed as
Ff = μ · N (1)
where
Ff = frictional force (N, lb)
μ = static (μs) or kinetic (μk) frictional coefficient
N = normal force (N, lb)
N=mg
so u=F/mg
u=0.0147/3 9.8 10^-3 = 0.5
The coefficient of friction equal 0.5

Frictional force can be expressed as
F f = μ ⋅ N
N = m ⋅ g
where
F f = f r i c t i o n a l f o r c e ( N , l b )
μ = f r i c t i o n a l c o e f f i c i e n t s t a t i c o r k i n e t i c ( μ s , μ k )
N = n o r m a l f o r c e ( N , l b )
m = m a s s o f t h e o b j e c t ( k g )
g = a c c e l e r a t i o n o f g r a v i t y ( 9 . 8 m / s 2 )
Input the number..
N = 0 . 0 0 3 k g ⋅ 9 . 8 m / s 2
N = 0 . 0 2 9 4 N
0 . 0 1 4 7 N = μ ⋅ 0 . 0 2 9 4 N
μ = 0 . 5
