Question: You are pulling an object horizontally along a surface, with a constant speed, by applying force, F . Kinetic friction, f , opposes this action.

You are pulling an object horizontally along a surface, with a constant speed, by applying force, F. Kinetic friction, f, opposes this action. Then;
Group of answer choices
Newton's 2nd Law (F=ma) tells us that the magnitude of the friction, f, equals the magnitude of the force, F.
Newton's 3rd Law does not apply to forces of friction.
Newton's 3rd Law ("action-reaction") tells us that the magnitude of the friction, f, equals the magnitude of the force, F.
Newton's 2nd Law does not apply to forces of friction.
Newton's 2nd Law does not apply because there is no acceleration
