You slide a coffee mug across the table. The mug slides to the east and slows down while sliding. Which of the following statements best describes the net force acting on it? O The net force is zero. O The net force is directed east. O The net force is directed west. O There is not enough information to determine the direction of the net force.

Respuesta :

The mug is sliding towards the east but its velocity is going down . That means it has negative acceleration towards east   . In other words , it has positive acceleration towards west. Since it has positive acceleration towards

west , it must have positive force acting on it towards west.
