    Undergrad Highest force is at ZERO speed ?

    Hi Wayne, Good question. Strictly speaking from a mechanics approach the definition of force is: force=mass x acceleration The force obtained can then be multiplied by a coefficient of friction. When an object is at rest it has a static friction, when it is in motion, it has a kinetic...

    Formula involving the change in a kinetic energy

    Hi,...What equations do you have for work? Calculate the vector components of the 120N force. This will simplify the problem for you.
