Homework Statement
A hand pushes a 3 kg block along a table from point A to point C as shown in the figure below. The table has been prepared so that the left half of the table (from A to B) is frictionless. The right half (from B to C) has a non-zero coefficient of friction equal to u. The hand pushes the block from A to C using a constant force of 5 N. The block starts off at rest at point A and comes to a stop when it reaches point C. The distance from A to B is 1/2 meter and the distance form B to C is also 1/2 meter.
A) Describe in words the motion of the block as it moves from A to C.
D) Does the magnitude of the acceleration increase, decrease, or remain the same as the block moves form B to C? Explain.
