An object is at rest on an inclined plane. In which direction does the static friction force act?

Gravity pulls on the object in the downward direction. The normal force to the inclined plane points in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the plane. Then for the object to be at rest, the frictional force must act parallel to the inclined plane, pointing in the upward direction.

a person pushing a stroller starts from rest, uniformly accelerating at a rate of 0.500m/s^2. what is the velocity of the stroll
grandymaker [24]
You're going to use the constant acceleration motion equation for velocity and displacement:
(V)final²=(V)initial²+2a(Δx)

Given:
a=0.500m/s²
Δx=4.75m
(V)intial=0m
(V)final= UNKNOWN

(V)final= 2.179m/s

Ymorist [56]

θ = angle of the incline surface from the horizontal surface = 25⁰

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.15

m = mass of the person = 65 kg

f_{k} = kinetic frictional force acting on the person as he slides down

mg = weight of the person acting in down direction

F_{n} = normal force by the incline surface on the person

Vertically polarized light with an intensity of 36.8 lux passes through a polarizer whose transmission axis is an angle of 51.0°
Annette [7]

Answer:

0.01774 lux

Explanation:

I_0 = Polarized light intensity = 36.8 lux

\theta = Angle

Through first filter

I_1=I_0cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I_1=36.8cos^2{51}\\\Rightarrow I_1=14.57\ lux

Through second filter

I_2=I_1cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I_2=14.57cos^2{88}\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.01774\ lux

intensity of transmitted light is 0.01774 lux
