Instead of answering all the questions being asked bfeore i make the topic, I'm just going to show you a scan of what I'm being asked for:

Basically, I got down the normal force, and Idk if made a mistake when i tried to find acceleration and overall tired myself out with this 1

I just want to know if i made a mistake calculating acceleration or if it's something else i have no idea about

It depends on what the object is doing and how it's situated...are we on an incline? Maybe post your givens and what you've done so far.

I would first like to commend you for taking the time to try and find the frictional force of a block. This is an important concept in physics and understanding it can help us better understand the behavior of objects in motion.

Based on the information you provided, it seems like you have already calculated the normal force acting on the block. This is a crucial step in finding the frictional force, as it is directly related to the weight and contact surface of the block.

The next step is to calculate the acceleration of the block. This can be done using Newton's second law, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (F=ma). In your case, the net force is the difference between the applied force and the frictional force (Fnet = F - f). Once you have calculated the acceleration, you can use it to find the frictional force using the formula f = μN, where μ is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

It is possible that you made a mistake in your calculations, so I would suggest double-checking your work to see if you can identify where the error may have occurred. Additionally, make sure that you are using the correct units for all your values and that you are using the correct formula for the specific scenario you are analyzing.

If you are still unsure about your calculations, I would recommend seeking help from a teacher or another knowledgeable individual who can assist you in finding the error and understanding the concept better. Remember, science is all about trial and error, and it's perfectly normal to make mistakes and learn from them.

In conclusion, finding the frictional force of a block involves understanding concepts such as normal force, acceleration, and the coefficient of friction. It's important to be thorough and double-check your calculations to ensure accuracy. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged by any mistakes you may make along the way. Science is all about learning and improving.
