b. What is the normal force acting on the box when it sits on the floor? Explain how you found the answer. (2 points)

c. If she pushes on the box with a force of 100 N and there is no friction, what is the acceleration of the box? (2 points)

d. If the coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is 0.3, what is the maximum force of static friction acting on the box? (2 points)

e. How hard must she push on the box to get it to slide? (2 points)

f. If she pushes on the box with a force of 100 N, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25, what is the net force on the box in the x-direction? (2 points)

g. Based on your answer to part (f), what is the acceleration of the box? (2 points)
