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.

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4

a body starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2m s-2 find the distance covered by the body in 2s
Evgen [1.6K]
Finding acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/ time taken (or A= V-U/T)

Final speed= 2m
Initial speed= 0m
Time taken= 2 seconds

2-0/2 so it’ll be 1m/s

2-0=0
2/2=

What is the mechanical advantage of the level shown below?
snow_lady [41]

the correct answer is B. 1.27

Mechanical advantage of a lever is simply the ratio of the effort arm to the load arm.Effort arm is the distance from the pivot to the point of application of force while load arm is the distance of the lord from the pivot.

therefore, in this question, the effort arm is 0.28m while the load arm is 0.22 m. MA is calculated as follows: MA=effort arm/load arm

                                                         =0.28m/0.22m=1.27

A wagon with an initial velocity of 2 m/s and a mass of 60 kg, gets a push with 150 joules of
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

v_f = 3 m/s

Explanation:

From work energy theorem;

W = K_f - K_i

Where;

K_f is final kinetic energy

K_i is initial kinetic energy

W is work done

K_f = ½mv_f²

K_i = ½mv_i²

Where v_f and v_i are final and initial velocities respectively

Thus;

W = ½mv_f² - ½mv_i²

We are given;

W = 150 J

m = 60 kg

v_i = 2 m/s

Thus;

150 = ½×60(v_f² - 2²)

150 = 30(v_f² - 4)

(v_f² - 4) = 150/30

(v_f² - 4) = 5

v_f² = 5 + 4

v_f² = 9

v_f = √9

v_f = 3 m/s
