Answer:

D

Explanation:

Now the net force is the applied force minus the frictional force; this is expressed mathematically as:

Fnet= Fappplied - Ffrictional

Now the frictional force is given as ;

Coefficient of friction × normal reaction

Normal reaction is the weight of the human acting in opposite direction.

Normal reaction of the human is ;

35 × 9.8 = 343N { note that weight = m× g and g= 9.8m/S2, a known standard }

Hence the Frictional force =343×0.4 =137.20N

Hence Fnet = 200-137.20 = 62.8N

Fnet = 63N to the nearest whole

The net force on the couch as it slides is  63N.

What is frictional force?

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction force.

The friction force is given by

f = coefficient of friction x Normal force

Given, the coefficient of kinetic friction between a couch and the floor is 0.4. If the couch has a mass of 35 kg and you push it with a force of 200 N.

Normal reaction is the weight of the human acting in opposite direction.

Normal reaction N =35 × 9.8 = 343N

Frictional force f =0.4 x 343

                          f =137.20N

The net force will be

Fnet= Fappplied - Ffrictional

Fnet = 200-137.20 = 62.8N

Fnet = 63N

Thus,  the net force on the couch as it slides is  63N.
