A block with twice the density of water is at rest on the bottom of a container partially filled with water, as shown in the figure. The normal force exerted by the bottom of the container on the block is FN . Which of the following correctly indicates the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the block on the container and provides a valid explanation? A Equal to FN , because the forces between the block and the container are an interacting force pair described by Newton's third law. Equal to FN , because the block is not floating and therefore experiences no buoyant force. Less than FN , because there is a buoyant force pushing up on the block, reducing the amount it is pushing down on the container. Less than FN , because the block shields the container from some of the downward water pressure.

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.

A crate is moving as shown is slowed down by a pushing force P. The force P has a horizontal component of 200 newtons to the left and a vertical component 300 newtons down. The mass of the crate is 90 kgs and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2 and static friction is 0.4. V P What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate? Answer in m/s². Use g = 10 m/s². Don't guess! Use the free body diagram method.
