Answer:

 F = mg /μ

Explanation:

For this exercise we define a coordinate system with the horizontal x axis and the vertical y axis, let's write the equilibrium equations for each axis

X axis

         F -N = 0

          F = N

Y axisy

         fr - W = 0

         fr = W                (2)

the force and touch have the expression

           fr = μ N

we substitute

          fr = μ F

we substitute in 2

         μ F = m g

          F = mg /μ

Explain the difference between speed and velocity and indicate if these are scalar or vector quantities
Natali5045456 [20]
Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors
