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.

Could someone explain to me how to got the answer B, thank you very much​
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

since -6 lasted for 5 seconds, multiplying both would result in -30

3 lasted for 10 seconds, so multiplying both would give +30

average = ( 30 + (-30) ) / 2

30 -30 is already equal to zero, so the answer should be 0

What kind of energy change occurs when a battery is operating a remote control toy?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C.

When the battery is operating a remote control toy the energy is converted from potential energy to the kinetic energy.

A battery stores electrical potential from the chemical reaction.

When the circuit is connected to the potential energy of the battery helps in the movement of the toy.

The energy produced by the movement of the control toy is kinetic energy.

Hence, we can say that Potential energy is changed to kinetic energy
