Answer:
Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left
Explanation:
There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:
- The force of push applied by the worker, in the forward direction, F
- The force of friction, , acting in the opposite direction (backward)
So the net force acting on the box is
According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass (m) and its acceleration (a), so we can write:
And so
However, in this case the box is moving at constant speed; this means that its acceleration is zero:
Therefore we have:
Which means
And since we are told that
This means that the force of friction is also 25 N:
