Question

label the forces for the following situation. if there is no force on that particular side of the object you must put none into the response spot. a large crate is being pushed leftward while sliding across the floor at an increasing speed. what dimension is the fnet in? gravity normal friction applied tension drag (air resistance) none fnet is in the x (horizontal) fnet is in the y (vertical) there is no fnet

Explanation:

Top side

There is no force acting on the top side of the crate.

Left side

An applied force is pushing the crate leftward.

Right side

Friction acts opposite to the direction of motion (rightward as the crate is moving leftward).

Bottom side

The normal force acts upward (opposite to gravity which acts downward, but since the crate is on the floor, the normal force balances the vertical component. However, for the bottom - side label in the context of the problem's force - labeling (not vertical balance in terms of net force here), the normal force is relevant for the contact with the floor.

Net force dimension

Since the crate is accelerating (increasing speed) in the horizontal (left - right) direction, according to Newton's second law \(F = ma\), the net force is in the horizontal (X) direction.

Answer:

Top: NONE
Left: Applied
Right: Friction
Bottom: Normal
Net force dimension: Fnet is in the X (Horizontal)
