A 100 N horizontal force is applied to a 5.0 kg box causing the box to move at a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. What is the value of the friction force on the box? 50 N 100 N 115 N 85 N

Respuesta :

The box to move at a constant speed so there is no acceleration. The horizontal force applied is only for overcoming the friction force. So the friction force = the applied force = 100 N.


F = ma + friction

m=5kg but speed=3.0m/s=constant so a=0

F = friction = 100 N
