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

to slide down the incline, traveling 3.40 m down the incline in 2.00 s. Calculate the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank.

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

What is true for solar, wind, and geothermal energy?
miss Akunina [59]
In the question "What is true for solar, wind, and geothermal energy?" The correct answer is that they are all renewable energy.
Solar energy is energy that comes from the heat from the sun.
Wind energy is the energy that is generated from the wind.
Geothermal energy energy is the energy that comes from the heat from the earth.
