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.

A series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.1 m, is sent down a string that is attached to a post at one end. The pulses are reflect
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

 A_resulting = 0.2 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze the impact of the pulse with the pole, this is a fixed obstacle that does not move therefore by the law of action and reluctant, the force that the pole applies on the rope is of equal magnitude to the force of the rope on the pole (pulse), but opposite directional, so the reflected pulse reverses its direction and sense.

With this information we analyze a point on the string where the incident pulse is and each reflected with an amplitude A = 0.1 m, the resulting is

           A_res = 2A

           A_resultant = 2 .01

           A_resulting = 0.2 m
