. Set the applied force to Force necessary to Keep the box Moving without accelerating. Restart the animation. Just before the box hits the wall, stop the animation. What can you tell me about relative magnitudes of the frictional force and the applied force

Respuesta :

Answer:

elative magnitude of the two forces is the same and they are applied in a constant direction.

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the sum of the forces is equal to the mass times the acceleration  

              ∑ F = m a

in this case there are two forces on the x axis

             F_applied - fr = 0

since they indicate that the velocity is constant, consequently

             F_applied = fr

the relative magnitude of the two forces is the same and they are applied in a constant direction.
