What is the main difference between a maglev train and a normal train?

Regular trains follow train tracks and travel on rails; Maglev trains are Magnetically Levitated using powerful electromagnets, so that they actually hover slightly above the ground. This massively reduces friction and allows them to travel much faster (kind of like how a puck can go really far with only a little push on an air hockey table).

A block is at rest on a plank whose angle can be varied. The angle is gradually increased from 0 deg. At 31.8°, the block starts

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

$\mu_s = 0.62$

$\mu_k = 0.415$

The motion of the block is downwards with acceleration 1.7 m/s^2.

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the acceleration using the kinematics equations. We will denote the direction along the incline as x-direction.

$x - x_0 = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\3.4 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(2)^2\\a = 1.7~m/s^2$

Newton’s Second Law can be used to find the net force applied on the block in the -x-direction.

$F = ma\\F = 1.7m$

Now, let’s investigate the free-body diagram of the block.

Along the x-direction, there are two forces: The x-component of the block’s weight and the kinetic friction force. Therefore,

$F = mg\sin(\theta) - \mu_k mg\cos(\theta)\\1.7m = mg\sin(31.8) - \mu_k mg\cos(31.8)\\1.7 = (9.8)\sin(\theta) - mu_k(9.8)\cos(\theta)\\mu_k = 0.415$

As for the static friction, we will consider the angle 31.8, but just before the block starts the move.

$mg\sin(31.8) = \mu_s mg\cos(31.8)\\\mu_s = tan(31.8) = 0.62$
