Pull horizontally on a crate with a force of 140 N and it slides across the floor in a dynamic equilibrium How much friction is acting on the crate?
If the crate isn't accelerating ... i.e. sliding at a constant speed, not speeding up or slowing down ...then the forces on it are balanced. The pseudo-force of friction is 140N in the direction opposite toits speed.
What 4 forces act on an object as it slides across the floor?
You should have friction between the box and the ground, the force you used to push it, the mass of the object, and gravity. The resistance of the air is neglibible. This should be all the forces on an object on flat ground.
When a person pushes a crate across the floor what force is working in reaction to the pushing force?
friction
What is the friction force if a crate is at rest on the surface and a horizontal force of 50N is applied to it?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so if you push on a crate, the crate pushes back with a normal force equal to the force exerted. Thus, expect a force of 50 N to push back at you. However, if you meant the normal force of the ground exerted on the box, then that would included the 50 N force and the weight of the crate.
A plane inclined at an angle 35 degrees from horizontal if the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the plane is 0.65 will the crate slide down the plane?
Is mgsinΘ > μmgcosΘ ? Is sinΘ > μ cosΘ ? Is sin35º > .65 cos35º Is .573 > .532 => Yes, so crate slides down the plane, no matter what the mass is or acceleration due to gravity

If you push on a heavy crate to the right and it slides what is the direction of friction on the crate?
The direction of friction on the crate is opposite to the direction in which it is sliding. In this case, since you are pushing the crate to the right, the friction will act to the left in order to oppose the motion.

friction
What force or forces are acting on the crate?
The weight of the crate is acting downward on the ground and the ground is exerting a force equal to the weight of the crate upward on the crate.
A crate is at rest on the ground what force or forces are acting on the crate?
The weight of the crate is acting downward on the ground and the ground is exerting a force equal to the weight of the crate upward on the crate.
What causes a crate in the bed of a truck to slide across the bed until it hits the tailgate as the truck accelerates forward?
it does not have enough friction.

Does Air resistance cause a crate in the bed of a truck to slide across the bed until it hits the tailgate as the truck accelerates forward?
not enough friction

A 40kg crate is at rest on a level surface if the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the surface is 0.69 what horizontal force is required to get the crate moving?
276 Newtons. Coefficient of static friction is a ratio between the force it takes to budge the object over the normal force (mass times gravity). So: 0.69 = Force / 400 N (40 kg times 10 m/s^2, the force of gravity). Solve for 276 N.
