Question

1. the force needed to start a box moving from rest on a horizontal surface is _. clear all equal to the force from gravity equal to the normal force greater than the maximum force from static friction less than the maximum force from static friction

Explanation:

Static friction resists the initiation of motion. For an object at rest on a horizontal surface, a force greater than the maximum static - friction force is required to start its motion. The force of gravity acts vertically and the normal force is perpendicular to the surface, and they are not directly related to starting the horizontal motion.

Answer:

Greater than the maximum force from static friction
