In one or two sentences, describe what would happen to the arrows and forces if the surface that the crate was on was ice. (Hint: Ice has almost no friction.)
If the surface that the crate is on is ice, the arrows representing frictional forces would disappear, as there is almost no friction on ice, resulting in the crate sliding easily without any opposing forces.
If the surface that the crate was on was ice, the frictional force between the crate and the ice would be extremely minimal, causing the arrows representing friction to disappear and resulting in the crate sliding with very little resistance.
If the surface that the crate was on was ice, the arrows representing forces would become smaller or disappear altogether, indicating a reduction or absence of frictional forces acting on the crate.
