Chapter 4, Problem 1MCQ
A truck is traveling horizontally to the right (Fig. 4-38). When the truck starts to slow down, the crate on the (frictionless) truck bed starts to slide. In what direction could the net force be on the crate?
- No direction. The net force is zero.
- Straight down (because of gravity).
- Straight up (the normal force).
- Horizontal and to the right.
- Horizontal and to the left.
