In one or two sentences describe what would happen to the arrows and forces if the surface that the crate was on was ice

1 answer

If the surface under the crate was ice, the friction between the crate and the surface would be significantly reduced, allowing for greater horizontal force to be applied without resistance. As a result, arrows representing applied force would increase in length, while arrows showing frictional force would decrease or nearly disappear, indicating that the crate could move more easily.
