Physics 15 Online
OpenStudy (anonymous):

When a force of 15 newtons is applied to a stationary chair, it starts moving. What can you say about the frictional force between the chair and the floor of the room?

OpenStudy (fellowroot):

you have to give us the statements

OpenStudy (ivancsc1996):

That the frictional force equals -15N since it is needed to equal the forces to start moving at constant speed. Do you understand that or maybe I can give you a more detailed explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thank you thats fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesn't mane the frictional force equals -15 N it means that the MAX frictional force equals 15N.. thats the max friction that can be provided .. !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it means that the maximum static frictional force beween chair and floor -15 N

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ACTUALLY WE CAN JUST SAY THAT MAX VALUE OF FRICTION IS LESS THEN 15 N....
