Question 2

A 50.0-N box is sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. You observe that at one instant the box is sliding to the right at 1.75 m/s and that it stops in 2.25 s with uniform acceleration.

What magnitude force does friction exert on this box? A) 3.97 N
B) 8.93 N
C) 38.9 N
D) 50.0 N
E) 490 N
