2.C Force Make an Argument PART C: Carlos gets tired of pushing and instead begins to pull with force Fpull at an angle to the horizontal. The block slides along the rough horizontal surface at a constant speed. A free-body diagram for the situation is shown below. Blake makes the following claim about the free-body diagram: Blake: "The velocity of the block is constant, so the net force exerted on the block must be zero. Thus, the normal force FN equals the weight Fmg, and the force of friction Ffequals the applied force Fpull." What, if anything, is wrong with this statement? If something is wrong, identify it and explain how to correct it. If this statement is correct, explain why. Fpull Checklist: I answered the question directly. I stated a law of physics that is always true. I connected the law or laws of physics to the specific circumstances of the situation. I used physics vocabulary (force, mass, acceleration, velocity, coefficient, friction).
