a pickup truck, carrying a box on a level road, accelerates forward from a stoplight. assuming that the box does not slide on the bed of the truck, as the truck is accelerating forward, the frictional force exerted on the box by the bed of the truck is in which direction?



Answer :

The static frictional force therefore contributes to the net force that must act on the crate in order to accelerate it. The static frictional force is directed forward, up the hill, because the crate has a tendency to slide backward.

As long as the crate accelerates at the same rate as the truck, it won't slide. The static frictional force therefore contributes to the net force that must act on the crate in order to accelerate it.

The static frictional force is directed forward, up the hill, because the crate has a tendency to slide backward. To cause a commensurate rise in the crate's acceleration, the truck's acceleration must likewise increase.

However, the static frictional force can only build up to a certain point, after which the crate and vehicle will accelerate to their maximum rate. The crate will slip if the acceleration is raised much further.
