Equilibrium on a Rough Horizontal Plane — Lesson quiz

Once you submit, you will no longer be able to change your answers. Are you sure you want to submit the quiz?

In which direction does friction act relative to the tendency of the body to move?

In the same direction as the tendency to move

Opposite to the tendency to move

Perpendicular to the surface, upwards

Vertically downwards with the weight

A body of weight 30 N rests on a horizontal plane with static coefficient of friction 0.2. What is the maximum friction?

0.2 N

30 N

6 N

150 N

A body of weight 50 N rests on a horizontal floor with coefficient of friction 0.4, and a horizontal force of 15 N acts on it. Does the body move?

Yes, because the 15 N force exceeds the maximum friction

Yes, because the 50 N weight exceeds the applied force

No, because the required friction of 15 N is less than its maximum of 20 N

No, because the required friction equals the 50 N weight
