Question

A 3-kg box is on a rough horizontal surface. An external force F is applied horizontally to the box. When force F equals 3.0 N, the box is in motion at constant velocity. The box slows down when force F is removed. The magnitude of the acceleration of the box when force F is removed is closest to: 0.1 m/s2 1 m/s2 0 m/s2 0.3 m/s2

Step 1

0 N is applied to the 3-kg box, it moves at a constant velocity. This means that the net force acting on the box is zero, as the applied force is balanced by the frictional force. Show more…
