Can acceleration happen on a frictionless surface?
yes
Three blocks that are connected by massless strings are pulled along a frictionless surface by a horizontal force?
Well it's obviously not flying.
Will a skateboard go faster if you push it with the same force for a longer time?
Yes. The force is measured as "acceleration" and is meters per second per second (or velocity per second) or the first derivative of velocity. On a frictionless surface in an environment without air resistance, and if the skateboard is a frictionless mechanism, if the skateboard is moving at a constant velocity, that means the acceleration is zero, which means that there is no force being applied to it and it is a body in motion staying in motion.
What will happen if you apply a force on top of a disk kept on a frictionless surface?
The disc will slow down as a result of the friction applied by the force.
Can frictionless surface exist?
No.
What happens to earth's surface when horizontal pressure is applied to rocks?
When a horizontal pressure is applied to rocks, the earth's surface will form lines that are perpendicular to the direction of the pressure. This can be compared to folds in a wrinkled rug lying on a floor.

What is the net force acting if an object is moving along a surface with a constant acceleration?
If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).
What does the coefficient of static friction represent?
In free space or on a frictionless surface, it takes no force to move something. Where there is friction, the ratio of (force necessary to start it moving horizontally)/(the object's weight) is the coefficient of static friction on the horizontal surface.
A car is moving at a constant speed of 30ms the combined mass of the car and the driver is 1000kg if the driving force is 3000N what is the value of the frictional force?
If the car and driver are moving (along a flat horizontal surface) at constant speed, then there is no acceleration, and the net horizontal force is zero.The applied 3,000N must be canceled by an effective total 3,000N of friction.
What is the acceleration of the 25 kg crate which is pulled by a rope along a frictionless surface at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal if the tension on the rope is 120 N?
the force acting down the slope = sin 30 * 25 (kg) = 0.5 * 25 = 12.5 kg = (12.5 * 9.806 ) 122.575 newtons = resultant force of (122.575-120 ) 2.575 newtons downhill giving downhill acceleration of (using f=ma) 0.103 (m/s)/s
When and object slides over a smooth horizontal surface how does the force of friction depend on the force of gravity on the object?
If the surface is smooth then it is almost frictionless. Hence the body will continue to move with constant velocity. However the object continues in a circular path and the weight is thus the centripetal force. It is assumed that the surface is very large)
