jim m has a spectacular aura about
a.static friction force opposes horizontal force
Ff=.5*N=-250, just balances FApp out so constant velocity. However in motion, kinetic friction takes over
Fk=.4*500=-200 and net force of 50 moving the box.
acceleration is 1m/s^2

b) FApp not enough to overcome Ff. acc=0
