Ethan pushes a wooden box across a carpeted floor. then he pushes the same box across a smooth marble floor. why does ethan find it easier to push the box on the marble floor than on the carpeted floor?

a. the box experience more friction on the carpeted floor
b. the box experience less friction on the carpet floor
c. the box experiences more applied force on the marble floor
d. the box experiences less normal force on the marble floor

Suppose that a mass of 2 kg is attached a spring whose spring constant is 50. the system is damped such that b = 12 . the mass is set in motion with an initial velocity of -8 m/s at a position 0 meters from equilibrium. set up and solve a differential equation that models this motion. write your solution in the form a cos ( ω t − α ) where α is a positive number. use your solution to fill in the information below: what is the amplitude of the motion? what is the value of ω ? what is the phase shift?
