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: Acts perpendicular to the surface (kitchen floor) on the box.
• Gravity: Pulls the box downward towards the Earth.
• Applied Force: The force exerted 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: Though usually small for a box moving on a floor, it still acts opposite to the direction of motion (to the left).
• Tension: There is no rope or string pulling the box, so no tension force.

Answer:

Normal, Gravity, Applied, Friction, Air Resistance.
