3 4 An experiment was conducted to investigate the friction between a moving wooden block and the horizontal, flat surface of a bench. The mass of the block is 2 kg while the frictional force on the bench is 2 N. Which of the following statements best describes the acceleration of the block when the applied force is increased from 2 N to 10 N? A The acceleration increases from 1 m/s2 to 4 m/s2. B The acceleration increases from 0 m/s2 to 4 m/s2. C The acceleration decreases from 4 m/s2 to 1 m/s2. D The acceleration decreases from 4 m/s2 to 0 m/s2. 5 The diagram shows a squared-shaped tile hanging loosely on a nail.
