You want to move a 500-N crate across a level floor. To start the crate moving, you have to pull with a 230-N horizontal force. Once the crate moving, you have to pull with a 230-N horizontal force. Once the crate “breaks loose” and starts to move, you can keep it moving at constant velocity with the only 200 N. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction?

Basis in how to answer the question.
Internal frame of reference
is a frame of reference in which Newton's first law of motion is applicable.
This frame can be in motion or at rest.
Newton's Law of Motion
1st law states that a system in motion will remain in motion and a system at rest will remain at
rest if no net force is applied.
- A body at rest does not mean that no force is acting on it. A man standing on the ground
for example, experiences a gravitational force but the ground pushes him upward with
equal but opposite force.
This is also the action-reaction pair. The action force is the gravitational force while the
grounds push is the reactions force.
2nd law states that when a net force F is applied on a system with a mass m, it will start to
accelerate a. F = ma.
3rd law states in every action, there is equal but opposite reaction.
Contact forces are forces that needs physical contact before affecting the system. Some
examples are push, pull, tension, and compression.
Noncontact forces are forces that does not need physical contact to take an effect on the
system. Some examples are gravitational pull and magnetism.
Four common types of force:
1. Normal force
2. Friction force
3. Tension force
4. Weight
Friction is a force between the surface and the object and is always on the opposite direction.
Static friction Fa is a frictional force present when an object is not yet in motion. Fs = n * uk
where n is the nomal force and uk is kinetic frictional coefficient. This coefficient depends on the
materials being rub against each other.
