What is the acceleration of a 68.0 kg crate that is pushed across the floor by a 425 N force, if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and floor is 0.500? Please tell me where I went wrong because there's a part of it that I'm confused about. Here's what I did: Normal Force = Force of gravity = mg = 68.0 kg (9.81 m/s²) = 667 N Ff = μ FN = (0.500) (667 N) = 334 N Fnet = (667 - 425 - 334) N = - 92 N Fnet = mass x acceleration -92 N = 68.0 kg (a) a = - 92 N/68.0 kg

Is the frictional force equivalent to the applied force in this case or this solution correct?
