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

Physics

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.

You apply the brakes of your car abruptly and your book starts sliding off the front seat. Three observers sitting in the car ex
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

All the observers are correct.

Explanation:

This is simply a problem of reference frames from which the motion of the book is being viewed by the various observers.

From their various reference frames, they are all correct.

Observer A must be in the inertial reference frame.

<em>Observers who can explain the behavior of the book  and the car by using the relationship between the sum of  the forces and changing velocity are said to be observers in inertial reference frames.</em>

This is clearly shown by what observer A noticed. There was a relative motion between the book and the car as she pointed out, making her to be in an inertial reference frame.

<em>Similarly, observers in inertial reference frames can also explain the changes in velocity of objects  by considering the forces exerted on them by other objects.</em>

This is shown by observer B as he is able to notice how the force of the car affects the velocity of the book.

Observer C is actually in a non-inertial reference frame, as newtons law of force motion relationship are no longer observed. This occurs in the non inertial reference frame.

 explain why earths acceleration is usually very small compared to the acceleration of the object the earth interact with
Marianna [84]

Answer:

F-ma

Explanation:

If you are speaking of objects like satellites, etc. then their mass is much less than that of the Earth. A good approximation is Newton's first law of motion:

Force = Mass ×  Acceleration

often written:

F = m a

The gravitational force is the same between the Earth and the object - only the mass differs. So the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.

A current of 3.6-A flows through a conductor. Calculate how much charge passed through and cross-section of the conductor in 25s
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

90 C

Explanation:

Electric current: This can be defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit. This can be expressed mathematically as,

I = dQ/dt

dQ = Idt

∫dQ = ∫Idt

Q = It................................ Equation 1

Where Q = amount of charge, I = current, t = time.

Given: I = 3.6 A, t = 25 s.

Substituting into equation 1,

Q = 3.6(25)

Q = 90 C.

Hence the amount of charge passing through the cross section of the conductor = 90 C

What does it mean when the orbital eccentricity of a planet is close to 1?
ankoles [38]

We have that Zero signifies a perfect circle shape and 1 shows it maximum out of order shape.

From the question we are told

What does it mean when the orbital eccentricity of a planet is close to 1

Generally

Eccentricity

This in its simplest definition means to be eccentric which means to be a bit out of order or for the given subject at hand means to be a bit out of shape

Naturally the Eccentricity that an object possess is defined by two number 0(zero) to 1(one)

Where

Zero signifies a perfect circle shape and 1 shows it maximum out of order shape

Which of the following is a circuit component whose function includes changing an open circuit to a closed circuit?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

<h2>B. Switch</h2>

Explanation:

<u>A device designed to open or close a circuit under controlled conditions is called a switch. The terms “open” and “closed” refer to switches as well as entire circuits. An open switch is one without continuity: current cannot flow through it.</u>
