Answer #1

The wagon will move.

The wagon moves because the force we exert is greater than the force of the wagon pulling back.

What pushes the wagon forward? It's the ground! The wagon pushes backward on the ground, so the ground pushes forward with an equal force. If the wagon can push back against the ground with a force greater than its resisting force, then the horse will accelerate.

What forces act on the wagon? The wagon pulls it forward, and there is a backward force from the ground: friction. If the wagon pull exceeds the friction, it will accelerate.

Consider the following scenario. You find yourself having some books with a total mass of 32 kg that you have to move from your bedroom to the door of your apartment using a rope attached to the crate. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.65, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.45 . (a) Pulling the rope horizontally, what is the minimum force you have to pull with to get the crate to...
