8. An object is pulled across a rough horizontal surface with an applied force of 300 N [40o below the horizontal]. The applied force is slowly rotated down toward the horizontal, decreasing the 40o angle. What will happen to the force of friction acting on the object and the acceleration?  a. Both increase. b. Both decrease. c. Friction decreases and acceleration increases. d. Friction increases and acceleration decreases. e. None of the above statements are accurate.
