Problem

A 5 kg5\,\text{kg} crate rests on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.200.20. A worker pulls the crate horizontally with a steady force of 30 N30\,\text{N} toward the east. Taking g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2, calculate the magnitude of the crate’s acceleration. a) 6.0 m/s26.0\,\text{m/s}^2 b) 3.1 m/s23.1\,\text{m/s}^2 c) 4.0 m/s24.0\,\text{m/s}^2 d) 2.0 m/s22.0\,\text{m/s}^2
