A force P pulls on a crate of mass m that is in contact with a rough surface. The figure shows the magnitudes and directions of the forces that act on the crate in this situation. W represents the weight of the crate. Fy represents the normal force on the crate, and F represents the frictional force.

Which statement best describes the motion of the crate?

A

The crate must be at rest

B

The crate must be moving with constant velocity.

C

The crate must be moving with constant acceleration.

D

The crate may be either at rest or moving with constant velocity
