Gravity is all ways pulling down and the normal force acting on top of the object and for it to have to push or pull to the object
friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. Due to gravity pulling everything down things need to friction in order to move
i hope this helps :/
Answer:
28.81 m
Explanation:
Ff = -123
m * a = -123
(29.8+10.3) * a = -123
a = -123/40.1 = -3.07
We know,
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
0^2 = 13.3^2 + 2*(-3.07)*s
s = 176.89/6.14 = 28.81
[ If there's a problem with the solution, pleaase let me know ]
A because it's the smaller the thicker you just can't have 0 gage
