Question
100%

I've been having trouble with physics problems involving forces and friction. I can understand the basic formulas (such as F=ma), but it gets too hard for me to understand once friction is introduced, and angles as well. I would love for a good explanation to help me, maybe using the attached problems as a starting point.

Friction
A force of 28.0 N is required to start a 3.4 kg
box moving across a horizontal concrete
floor. (a) What is the coefficient of static
friction between the box and the floor? (b)
If the 28.0 N force continues, the box
accelerates at 0.50 m/s2. What is the
coefficient of kinetic friction?

4) A box is at rest on the floor when you begin pushing on it with a 40 N force. Let the
mass be 20 kg, the coefficient of static friction be 0.18, and the coefficient of kinetic
friction be 0.11. Does the box move? What is the acceleration?
5) A 250.0 kg crate is being pushed across the
floor at a constant speed with a rope that
makes an angle of 22.0 to the horizontal. If the
force applied is equal to 875 N, what is the
coefficient of kinetic friction?
