Answer

Any force greater 490N

Explanation

The force required just to make an object slide over a rough horizontal surface is any force greater that the static friction which given by;

F=\mu_s mg.............(1)

Given;

\mu_s=0.5\\m=100kg\\g=9.8m/s^2

Hence;

F = 0.5 x 100 x 9.8

F = 490N.

We will only need the coefficient of kinetic friction if we were asked to find the force required to keep the object moving uniformly. Usually, the force needed to keep an object moving uniformly over a rough surface is lesser that which is needed to start its motion.

In this problem, we were only asked to find the minimum force required to make the object move which we have done.

In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation
Yakvenalex [24]
<span>In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation if the independent variable changes because of changes made to the dependent variable. Causation works on cause and effect, so the changed independent variable is the cause and the changed dependent variable is the effect. In an experiment the independent variable is changed to determine the dependent variables value, so the two are directly related.</span>
