In Fig. 6-48, a 2.0 kg block lies on a 20 kg trolley that can roll across a floor on frictionless bearings. Between the block and the trolley, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.25. When a horizontal 2.0 N force is applied to the block, what are the magnitudes of (a) the frictional force between the block and the trolley and (b) the acceleration of the trolley?

Explanation

`(a)f_(s)=F_(app)=2.0 N, (b) a=0.091 m//s^(2)`
