A 50.0-N box is sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. You observe that at one instant the box is sliding to the right at 1.75 m/s and that it stops in 2.25 s with uniform acceleration

What magnitude force does friction exert on this box? A) 3.97 N
B) 8.93 N
C) 38.9 N
D) 50.0 N

Ellen says that whenever the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement of an object from its equilibrium position, the motion of the object is simple harmonic motion. Mary says this is true only if the acceleration is opposite in direction to the displacement. Which one, if either, is correct?

a. Ellen, because ?2 is directly proportional to the constant multiplying the displacement and to the mass. b. Ellen, because ?2 is directly proportional to the mass. c. Mary, because ?2 is directly proportional to the constant multiplying the displacement and to the mass. d. Mary, because ?2 is directly proportional to the mass. e. Mary, because the second derivative of an oscillatory function like sin(?t) or cos(?t) is always proportional to the negative of the original function.
