You push a box horizontally along level ground but friction is causing the box to slow down. The magnitude of the friction force from the ground on the box is _________the magnitude of your force. You push a box horizontally along level ground at constant velocity. The magnitude of the friction force from the ground on the box is____________the magnitude of your force. You are standing on a hill where the ground is sloped. The magnitude of the normal force from the ground on you is___________the magnitude of the normal force from you on the ground. You are standing on a hill where the ground is sloped. The magnitude of the normal force from the ground on you is _____________the magnitude of your weight. You are facing your (very large and very strong) friend, Commander Worf. Worf gets very angry and pushes you to the ground. Worf remains stationary (a = 0). The magnitude of the force from Worf on you is __________the magnitude of the force from you on Worf. You are standing at a place where the ground is level. The magnitude of your weight is__________the magnitude of the normal force from the ground on you.

Answer 1

this question requires us to use our knowledge of newton's 1st 2nd and 3rd laws to fill in the blank spaces. the words in bold are the answers to the question

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You push a box horizontally along level ground but friction is causing the box to slow down. The magnitude of the friction force from the ground on the box is greater than the magnitude of your force because of newtons second law

2. You push a box horizontally along level ground at constant velocity. The magnitude of the friction force from the ground on the box is equal to the magnitude of your force because of newtons second law

3. You are standing on a hill where the ground is sloped. The magnitude of the normal force from the ground on you is equal to the magnitude of the normal force from you on the ground because of newtons third law.

4. You are standing on a hill where the ground is sloped. The magnitude of the normal force from the ground on you is less than the magnitude of your weight because of newtons second law

5. You are facing your (very large and very strong) friend, Commander Worf. Worf gets very angry and pushes you to the ground. Worf remains stationary (a = 0). The magnitude of the force from Worf on you is equal to the magnitude of the force from you on Worf because of newtons third law

6. You are standing at a place where the ground is level. The magnitude of your weight is equal to the magnitude of the normal force from the ground on you newtons second law
