5. if an object has a free body diagram as drawn below, which of the following could describe the motion of the object: fapp ffrict fgrav

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze vertical forces

$F_{norm}$ (normal force) and $F_{grav}$ (gravitational force) are equal and opposite, so vertical net - force is zero.

Step2: Analyze horizontal forces

If $F_{app}$ (applied force) is greater than $F_{frict}$ (frictional force), there is a net force to the right. According to Newton's second law $F = ma$, a non - zero net force causes acceleration.

Answer:

Accelerating right
