When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some poi

nt "break loose" and start to accelerate down the board.
The box begins to slide once the component of gravity acting parallel to the boardequals the force of static friction. Which of the following is the most general explanation for why the box accelerates down the board?

The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, butF_gremains the same.
Once the box is moving,F_gis smaller than the force of static friction but larger than the force of kinetic friction.
Once the box is moving,F_gis larger than the force of static friction.
When the box is stationary,F_gequals the force of static friction, but once the box starts moving, the sliding reduces the normal force, which in turn reduces the friction.

Answer: The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, but F_g  remains the same.

Explanation:

The situation is same as when a book is pushed with an increasing force on a table; When the force is low, book doesn't move, until that under a given force starts moving, and then it goes on movement even if the force decreases a bit.

The physical explanation for this, that friction force adopts any value needed to avoid to move the object, till a limit value is achieved, called static friction force, equal to the normal force times the static friction coefficient.

Once in movement, the kinetic friction coefficient replaces the static one , and  in general is lower than the static one, so the force diminishes.

In the case of the box sliding down the board, the force that tries to move the object down the board, is the component of the weight parallel to the board, that can be showed that being equal to the weight times the sinus of the angle of the board with the horizontal, as follows:

F_g = m g sin θ

When θ increases, F_g does the same, so friction force always has the same magnitude than F_g (but opposite direction) so the box doesn't move, till that θ takes a value that produces a F_g equal to static friction force.

Beyond this limit angle, F_g (remaining the same for a given angle) is greater than the kinetic friction force, and the box slides.

In the limit, when θ=90º, sin θ =1⇒ F_g = mg, so the object is in free fall.

Calculate the gravitational attraction between two objects which masses are: mass A: 2.5kg, mass B: 5kg. The distance between th
jonny [76]

From the calculation, the gravitational force of attraction is  1.33 * 10^-14 N.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

The gravitational force is an attractive force that acts between any two masses.

It is given by;

F = Gm1m2/r^2

F = 6.67 * × 10−11 * 2.5 * 5/(250)^2

F  = 83.4  × 10−11 /62500

F= 1.33 * 10^-14 N

Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the c
rosijanka [135]

Answer: Only Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

First, tech A is wrong.

The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.

Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.

How is it possible to get three precise but inaccurate measurements of the same volume of water
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The inaccurate measurements must be similar to the other two measurements (ex; 590, 589, 599), but different from the actual volume of water. (Ex; the actual volume is let say.. 100, but you measured 50, 49, 40)

A van de Graaff generator accelerates electrons so that they have energies equivalent to that attained by falling through a pote
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete hence I will give you a general answer on how A van de Graaff generator works

answer :

If the electrons falls through a PD of 150mV the electron will gain energy of   150MeV

Explanation:

when a Van de Graff generator is used to accelerate an electron through a PD ( potential difference ) of any value the particle ( electron )  the electron will gain energy  ( eV )  which is is equivalent in value of the PD it accelerated through

hence if the electrons falls through a PD of 150mV the electron will gain energy of   150MeV
