This is the symbol for friction that we use when an object is in motion.

fk

100

The mode your calculator should be in when working with angles.

What is Degree mode?

100

The force of static friction when pushing on an object at rest with an applied force of 3 N.

What is 3 N?

100

This is true when the net force is not zero.

What is the object is accelerating?
100

The difference between accurate and precise.

Accurate is how close you are to an accepted or true value. Precise is how close values are to each other.

This component is in the opposite direction of friction.

What is Fx?

DAILY DOUBLE

The symbol or symbols you could possibly use for friction when an object is NOT accelerating.

300
When asked to determine the net force in the horizontal direction, this is what you do.
