A pickup truck is carrying a toolbox, but the rear gate of the truck is missing, so the box will slide out if it is set moving. The coefficients of kinetic and static friction between the box and the bed of the truck are 0.290 and 0.550, respectively. Starting from rest, what is the shortest time this truck could accelerate uniformly to 23.0 m/s without causing the box to slide? Edit Format Table

Physics student Matt has just learned about Newton's 3rd law of motion. He's considering a car pulling a trailer as shown below. He thinks that since the tension force forward on the trailer is equal and opposite to the tension force backwards on the car, the net force on the car must be zero and therefore the car can't accelerate. Which one (or more) of the following statements is correct: The tension force forward on the trailer is not the same magnitude as the tension force backwards on the car. Matt has not considered all the forces acting on the car, such as the friction between the wheels and the ground, in order to calculate the net force on the car. Correct! The net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object so you must include all forces to then apply Fnet = ma. O The net force on the car is always zero and therefore the car cannot accelerate. Since the 2 tension forces act on different objects you can't add them together to get a "net force" on either object.

Hello i need to find the coefficient of kinetic friction from this problem. THIS IS NOT A GRADED QUESTION. its a problem from my book im trying to understand. Thank you.
Consider an object at rest on a rough horizontal surface. Which of the following is necessarily correct if we use the model of friction described in the videos and book? The force of friction on the object is smaller than or equal to μg FN, where μs is the coefficient of static friction and FN is the normal force exerted on the object by the surface. The force of friction on the object is proportional to the normal force exerted by the surface on the object. The force of friction on any object opposes motion; since the object is at rest, the force of friction is zero. The force of friction on the object is proportional to the object's weight, i.e. Ff = p.mg, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, m is the mass of the object, and g is acceleration due to Earth's gravity.
