A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 20.0-kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 75.0-N horizontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in motion, a horizontal force of 60.0 N is required to keep it moving with a constant speed. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between crate and floor.
Choose the best answer. A car traveling at constant speed has a net force of zero acting on it. (a) True (b) False (c) The answer depends on the motion.
A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.20105 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 0.500106 N on the flea.
