A sailor pulls a crate across the deck of a ship with a rope, exerting a horizontal force of 150. N. The crate, which has a mass of 50.0 kg, accelerates at 0.0600 m/s2.
a. List the forces acting on the crate. Assume the crate is moving slow enough for air resistance to be negligible.
b. What is the net force on the crate? Be sure to include a unit and the correct number of sig figs.
c. What is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the crate? Be sure to include a unit and the correct number of sig figs.
