Abox is sitting on the ground and weighs 100 kg and the coefficient of friction is 0.23. is it easier to push by applying the force?

-No

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of box = 100 kg

Coefficient of friction ,μ= 0.23

We know that friction force depends on the normal force acts on the box

Fr= μ N

When we pull the box then :

Normal force N= mg

Friction force Fr=  μ mg                  

When we push the box :

Lets take pushing force = F

θ =Angle make by pushing force from the vertical line

Normal force

N = mg + F cosθ

Fr= μ ( mg + F cosθ )

The friction force is more when we push the box.That is why this is not easier to push the box.

Therefore answer is ---No

waves moving from a fast medium to a slow medium will experience a reflection as light travels more slowly than red light. total internal reflection occurs when the critical angle is.
