1. Applying more force and energy, speeding up
2. Releasing potential and kinetic energy by going down a slope, speeding up
3. Applying less force to slow down and let friction overcome the bicyclist

A cylinder of radius R, length L, and mass M is released from rest on a slope inclined at angle θ. It is oriented to roll straig

inna [77]

Answer:

$\mu_s=\frac{1}{3}\tan \theta$

Explanation:

Let the minimum coefficient of static friction be $\mu_s$ .

Given:

Mass of the cylinder = $M$

Radius of the cylinder = $R$

Length of the cylinder = $L$

Angle of inclination = $\theta$

Initial velocity of the cylinder (Released from rest) = 0

Since, the cylinder is translating and rolling down the incline, it has both translational and rotational motion. So, we need to consider the effect of moment of Inertia also.

We know that, for a rolling object, torque acting on it is given as the product of moment of inertia and its angular acceleration. So,

$\tau =I\alpha$

Now, angular acceleration is given as:

$\alpha = \frac{a}{R}\\Where, a\rightarrow \textrm{linear acceleration of the cylinder}$

Also, moment of inertia for a cylinder is given as:

$I=\frac{MR^2}{2}$

Therefore, the torque acting on the cylinder can be rewritten as:

$\tau = \frac{MR^2}{2}\times \frac{a}{R}=\frac{MRa}{2}------ 1$

Consider the free body diagram of the cylinder on the incline. The forces acting along the incline are $mg\sin \theta\ and\ f$ . The net force acting along the incline is given as:

$F_{net}=Mg\sin \theta-f\\But,\ f=\mu_s N\\So, F_{net}=Mg\sin \theta -\mu_s N-------- 2$

Now, consider the forces acting perpendicular to the incline. As there is no motion in the perpendicular direction, net force is zero.

So, $N=Mg\cos \theta$

Plugging in $N=Mg\cos \theta$ in equation (2), we get

$F_{net}=Mg\sin \theta -\mu_s Mg\cos \theta\\F_{net}=Mg(\sin \theta-\mu_s \cos \theta)--------------3$

Now, as per Newton's second law,

$F_{net}=Ma\\Mg(\sin \theta-\mu_s \cos \theta)=Ma\\\therefore a=g(\sin \theta-\mu_s \cos \theta)------4$

Now, torque acting on the cylinder is provided by the frictional force and is given as the product of frictional force and radius of the cylinder.

$\tau=fR\\\frac{MRa}{2}=\mu_sMg\cos \theta\times R\\\\a=2\times \mu_sg\cos \theta\\\\But, a=g(\sin \theta-\mu_s \cos \theta)\\\\\therefore g(\sin \theta-\mu_s \cos \theta)=2\times \mu_sg\cos \theta\\\\\sin \theta-\mu_s \cos \theta=2\mu_s\cos \theta\\\\\sin \theta=2\mu_s\cos \theta+\mu_s\cos \theta\\\\\sin \theta=3\mu_s \cos \theta\\\\\mu_s=\frac{\sin \theta}{3\cos \theta}\\\\\mu_s=\frac{1}{3}\tan \theta............(\because \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=\tan \theta)$

Therefore, the minimum coefficient of static friction needed for the cylinder to roll down without slipping is given as:

$\mu_s=\frac{1}{3}\tan \theta$

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Briefly describe the three phases of self-regulation. _PSYCHOLOGY_

Zinaida [17]

Phase 1. Forethought/preaction—This phase precedes the actual performance; sets the stage for action; maps out the tasks to minimize the unknown; and helps to develop a positive mindset. Realistic expectations can make the task more appealing. Goals must be set as specific outcomes, arranged in order from short-term to long-term. We have to ask students to consider the following:

When will they start?Where will they do the work?How will they get started?What conditions will help or hinder their learning activities are a part of this phase?

Phase 2. Performance control—This phase involves processes during learning and the active attempt to utilize specific strategies to help a student become more successful.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

Are students accomplishing what they hoped to do?Are they being distracted?Is this taking more time than they thought?Under what conditions do they accomplish the most?What questions can they ask themselves while they are working?How can they encourage themselves to keep working (including self-talk—come on, get your work done so you can watch that television show or read your magazine!)

Phase 3. Self-reflection—This phase involves reflection after the performance, a self-evaluation of outcomes compared to goals.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

Did they accomplish what they planned to do?Were they distracted and how did they get back to work?Did they plan enough time or did they need more time than they thought?Under what conditions did they accomplish the most work.
Hope this helps!!!!!

"relate the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle to the process of fertilisation"

DerKrebs [107]

Explanation:

During your menstrual cycle , Harmones make the eggs in your Ovaries mature -

• when an egg is mature , That means it's ready to be fertilized by a sperm cell .

• These hormones also make the lining of your uterus thick and spongy . So if your egg does get Fertilised , It has a nice cushy place to land and start a pregnancy .
