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 its surface on the box to support the box's weight.
• Gravity: The Earth's gravitational pull acts downward on the box.
• Applied force: The force applied to move the box to the right.
• Friction: Since the box is moving across the floor, there is kinetic friction opposing the motion.
• Air Resistance: When an object moves (even at relatively low speeds like pushing a box across a floor), air resistance acts opposite to the direction of motion.
• Tension: There is no rope or string pulling the box, so tension is not present.

Answer:

Normal, Gravity, Applied, Friction, Air Resistance.
