Answer:

The maximum value of θ that will cause the block to remain stationary on the inclined surface is 21.8°

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of static friction, μ = 0.4

for the block to remain stationary on the inclined plane, force pushing the block upward must be equal to the force acting downwards.

μR = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ = mgsinθ

μcosθ = sinθ

μ = sinθ/cosθ

μ = tanθ

θ = tan⁻¹(0.4) = 21.8°

Therefore, the maximum value of θ that will cause the block to remain stationary on the inclined surface is 21.8°

Why does the cyclist have less kinetic energy at position A than at position B?
Semmy [17]
Suppose that the cyclist begins his journey from the rest from the top of a wedge with a slope of a degree above the horizontal.
 At point A (where it starts its journey), the energy is:
 Ea = m * g * h
 In other words, energy is only potential.
 At point B (located at the bottom of the wedge), the energy is:
 Eb = (1/2) * (m) * (v ^ 2)
 In other words, the energy is only kinetic.
 For energy conservation we have:
 Ea = Eb
 That is, we have that all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
 Which means that the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.
 answer:
 the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.

Does wind have atoms and molecules in it?
Likurg_2 [28]
<span>
Of course.  Wind is air in motion, and the gases in air are composed of
all the usual familiar stuff ... atoms, molecules, mass, etc.  That's how
the wind moves things ... it has momentum and kinetic energy, which
get transferred to the things that move in the wind.</span>

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the earth's surface of 2.60 times the earth's radius, what is its acceleration d
Mice21 [21]

The gravitational acceleration at any distance r is given by

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass and r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth.

The Earth's radius is r_e=6.37 \cdot 10^6 m, so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:

r=r_e+2.60 r_e =3.60 r_e =  2.29 \cdot 10^7 m

And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2} =  \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(2.29 \cdot 10^7 m)^2} =0.75 m/s^2

A line of dominos is knocked down. Which explanation is true?
Llana [10]

B: an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.

This is based on the concept of force on an object.

Now, formula for force is commonly known as;

Force = mass × acceleration

Now, mass and acceleration are the input values that make the output which is the Force to either increase or decrease.

  • Now, for the line of dominoes to fall, it means that the force was so overwhelming that the dominoes couldn't resist it.

Now, this output which is the force became so much as a result of the increase in acceleration of the motion that triggered its movement.

Moreover, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration!

Thus, we can say that an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.
