A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination

The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.

How is a net electric charge produced​
Vlad [161]

If an object has more protons than electrons, then the net charge on the object is positive. If there are more electrons than protons, then the net charge on the object is negative. If there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, then the object is electrically neutral.

A tennis ball is dropped from a roof. If it takes 38.9 seconds to reach the ground, how fast is the ball moving just before it h
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 381.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time taken to reach the ground, t = 38.9 s

The height of fall is given by;

h = ¹/₂gt²

h = ¹/₂(9.8)(38.9)²

h = 7414.73 m

The velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is given as;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

u is the initial velocity of the on the root = 0

v is the final velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 7414.73 )

v = 381.2 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 381.2 m/s

In an LC circuit containing a 40-mH ideal inductor and a 1.2-mF capacitor, the maximum charge on the capacitor is 45mC during os
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

E) 6.5 A

Explanation:

Given that

L = 40 m H

C= 1.2 m F

Maximum charge on capacitor ,Q= 45 m C

The maximum current I given as

I = Q.ω

ω =angular frequency

\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{CL}}

By putting the values

\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{CL}}

\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{40\times 10^{-3}\times 1.2 \times 10^{-3}}}

ω  = 144.33 rad⁻¹

Maximum current

I = 45 x 10⁻³ x 144.33  A

I= 6.49 A

I = 6.5 A

E) 6.5 A
