Answer:
The acceleration of the system is a = 0.38 g. And, the system will move in the direction of the applied force.
Explanation:
Given data,
The coefficient of the kinetic friction, μₓ = 0.38
Let the mass of the body be, m
Let the kinetic frictional acceleration be 'a'
The normal force acting on the body W = mg
The kinetic frictional force of the body,
Fₓ = μₓ W
Fₓ = 0.38 mg
ma = 0.38 mg
a = 0.38 g
Hence, the acceleration of the system is a = 0.38 g. And, the system will move in the direction of the applied force.
