If the surface under the crate were ice, the frictional forces would be significantly reduced, allowing the crate to slide more freely. Consequently, any applied forces (like a push) would result in greater acceleration of the crate, and the arrows representing these forces would indicate a more pronounced effect due to the minimal friction opposing the movement.
In 1-2 sentences, describe what would happen to the arrows and forces if the surface that the crate was on ice. Hint ice has almost no friction.
