Answer 1

Question: A force is applied to a box to move it to the right across the kitchen floor. What forces are present?

Answer:

The static "frictional force" and the "kinetic friction" will act on the box.

Explanation:

As we know when the box will start moving a static frictional force will act on it, having a maximum value which is given as

$F_{s}max} = \nu_{s}N$

Once its starts moving the kinetic friction comes into the scene.

$F_{k} = \nu_{n}N$

Kinetic friction acts between the moving surfaces. An object which is moving over the surface will experience a force that will work opposite to the direction of the movement.
