In order to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of a resultant vector, which must be true regarding the two initia

We know that the Pythagorean theorem applies only to right triangles, therefore the original vectors must be parallel to the legs of a right triangle.

In other words, they must be orthogonal (i.e. perpendicular to each other) in order that the Pythagorean theorem applies.

If an object is to rest on an incline without slipping, then friction must equal the component of the weight of the object paral
leonid [27]

Answer:

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu

Explanation:

As we know that if the object is placed on the inclined plane then the force of friction on the object is counterbalanced by the component of the weight of the object along the inclined plane.

So we can say

F_f = mgsin\theta

now if we increase the inclination of the plane then the component of the weight weight along the inclined plane will increase and hence the friction force will also increase.

As we know that the limiting value or the maximum value of friction force at the static condition is given by

F_f = \mu N

N = mg cos\theta

so we have

F_f = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so we will have

mg sin\theta = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so now we have

tan\theta = \mu

so maximum possible angle of the inclined plane is

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu

In which type of collision is no kinetic energy converted to heat or sound<br> energy?
mezya [45]

Answer:

elastic collision

An elastic collision occurs when the two objects "bounce" apart when they collide. Two rubber balls are a good example. In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. Almost no energy is lost to sound, heat, or deformation.

I hope it's helpful!
