You are pushing a file cabinet across a floor in a straight line at a constant speed. Which of the
following can you correctly conclude about the forces acting on the file cabinet?
A, If you were to exert twice as much force on the file cabinet, it would slide across the floor at
twice its original speed.
B. The force that you are exerting on the file cabinet is greater than the force that friction is
exerting on it.
C. The force that you are exerting on the file cabinet is greater than the force of friction with
the cabinet's weight.
D. The force that you are exerting on the file cabinet is equal and opposite to the force that
friction is exerting on it. - detAiled AnsWer -D. The force that you are exerting on the file
cabinet is equal and opposite to the force that friction is exerting on it.
