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.

balu736 [363]

Answer:Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than infrared radiation.

Explanation: Electromagnetic radiation radiations which have both electrical and magnetic properties,they can be transmitted through space or through a medium.

It includes Gamma radiation, infra-red, visible light, Ultraviolet radiation etc they occur with different wavelength, the lower the wavelength the higher the Energy dissipated per photon. According to their order of decreasing wavelength and increased energy they are classified as follows.

RADIO WAVE, MICRO WAVE, INFRA-RED, VISIBLE LIGHT, ULTRAVIOLET RAY, X-RAY, GAMMA RAYS.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

direction does the axis of rotation tilt toward after the blow is the z- direction

Explanation:

This is because

Due to the blow, there is a impulse imparted on the ball which gives a change in linear momentum () in the x direction

Thus When cross product of momentum in x direction is taking with r vector, we will get resultant in z direction. Hence change in angular momentum will be z direction.
