Answer:

D. Half as great

Explanation:

Since we know that the friction force between the surface of crate and ground is given as

F_f = \mu F_n

so here we know that

\mu = friction coefficient between two surfaces which depends on the effective contact area between two surfaces

F_n = normal force due to the object

So when we turn the object on another side such that the surface area is half then the friction coefficient will become also half

So here the friction force will also reduce to half

so correct answer will be

D. Half as great

What color would a yellow cloth appear to have if illuminated with sunlight?
den301095 [7]
The colour we see is a measure of the wavelengths of light nor absorbed by the cloth. We would call the colour of the cloth blue if it absorbed longer wavelengths of yellow/orange/red. Sunlight contains all the visible wavelengths. Whatever is not absorbed is reflected.
