m = mass of the box
N = normal force on the box
f = kinetic frictional force on the box
a = acceleration of the box
μ = coefficient of kinetic friction
perpendicular to incline , force equation is given as
N = mg Cos30 eq-1
kinetic frictional force is given as
f = μ N
using eq-1
f = μ mg Cos30
parallel to incline , force equation is given as
mg Sin30 - f = ma
mg Sin30 - μ mg Cos30 = ma
"m" cancel out
a = g Sin30 - μ g Cos30
inserting the values
1.20 = (9.8) Sin30 - (9.8) Cos30 μ
μ = 0.44
Complete Question:
Metal sphere A has a charge of − Q . −Q. An identical metal sphere B has a charge of + 2 Q . +2Q. The magnitude of the electric force on sphere B due to sphere A is F . F. The magnitude of the electric force on sphere A due to sphere B must be:
A. 2F
B. F/4
C. F/2
D. F
E. 4F
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
If both spheres can be treated as point charges, they must obey the Coulomb's law, that can be written as follows (in magnitude):
As it can be seen, this force is proportional to the product of the charges, so it must be the same for both charges.
As this force obeys also the Newton's 3rd Law, we conclude that the magnitude of the electric force on sphere A due to sphere B, must be equal to the the magnitude of the force on the sphere B due to the sphere A, i.e., just F.
