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.

The vertical velocity of a projectile launch at 35 degree : O continuously decreases O continuously increases O sometimes decrea
kati45 [8]

Answer:Sometime decreases and sometime increases.

Explanation:

Given

Projectile is launched at 35 ^{\circ}

so horizontal velocity=ucos35

vertical velocity=usin35

since gravity acts in the vertical direction, therefore, it affects only the vertical component of the projectile.

So Vertical velocity first decrease up to maximum height and then starts to increase.

If an object is moving at 2m/s towards a porcelain vase, do you think it will have enough momentum to brake the vase?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: No

Explanation:

Momentum p refers to how much force is needed to change the motion of a body or object by changing its direction or braking it. In addition, momentum is directly proportional to the mass m and the velocity v:

p=mv

Now, assuming both the object and the porcelain vase have the same velocity v=2m/s but different mass, and assuming the mass of the vase is greater than the mass of the object; the momentum of the porcelain vase will be also greater than the momentum of the object.

Hence, the object will not have enough momentum to brake the vase.

What is the shell of an hydrogen atom called
katrin2010 [14]
If Hydrogen has 1 electron it can only have 1 outer shell (or orbital) as an electron cannot by split across shells. In general, the first shell can hold 2 electrons, the second can hold 8. Consequently, hydrogen only has 1 outer shell as it has less than 2 electrons so it does not need another shell.
