Question

consider this situation: a force is applied to a box to move it to the right across the kitchen floor. of the forces listed, identify which act upon the box. tap to select the forces that are present. normal gravity applied friction tension air resistance

Explanation:

• Normal force: The floor exerts a normal force perpendicular to the surface (upward) to support the box against gravity.
• Gravity: Acts downward on the box due to Earth's pull.
• Applied force: The force applied to move the box to the right.
• Friction: Opposes the motion of the box (acts to the left as the box moves right).
• Air resistance: Opposes the motion of the box (acts to the left as the box moves right, though usually small compared to friction in such a scenario but still present).
• Tension: There is no rope or string pulling the box, so no tension force.

Answer:

Normal, Gravity, Applied, Friction, Air Resistance.
