Concept explainers
A large box is being pushed across the floor at a constant speed of 4.0 m/s. What can you conclude about the forces acting on the box?
A) The amount of force applied to move the box at a constant speed must be equal to the amount of frictional force is that resistance motion
B)If the force applied to the box is doubled the constant speed of the box will double to 8.9 m/s
C) The amount of force applied to move the box at constant speed must be more than the amount of the frictional force is that resistance motion
D) There is a force being applied to the box to make it move but the external forces such as friction or not real forces they just resist motion
E) The amount of force applied to move the box at a constant speed must be more than its weight
Definition Definition Force that opposes motion when the surface of one item rubs against the surface of another. The unit of force of friction is same as the unit of force.
