A rubber toy duck is at rest on an inclined plane. When the angle of inclination of the plane is increased to 36.0°, the toy duc

k begins to slide down the incline. Then, when the angle is decreased to 29.0°, the speed of the toy duck is constant. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the toy duck and the incline?

Answer

toy begins to slide when the plane is at an angle of 36.0°

at this point the toy has just overcome the static friction

f_s = \mu_s N

f_s = \mu_s mgcos \theta

since toy begins to slide

f_s = mgsin \theta

now on comparing

mgsin \theta = \mu_s mgcos \theta

\mu_s = tan \theta

\mu_s = tan (36^0)

\mu_s = 0.726

as the body is moving at constant velocity acceleration will be zero

so now,

m g sin \theta - f_k = ma

m g sin \theta - \mu_k mg cos\theta = 0

\mu_k = tan \theta

\mu_k = tan (29^0)

\mu_k = 0.554

The four terrestrial planets are so called because they ?
velikii [3]
Well, you need no look further than the word "terrestrial" If you notice the beginning of the word you notice that it consists mostly of the word "terra" Terra by definition is just land. Due to the solid land of these 4 planets, they're called terrestrial planets, the other 4 aren't made of land but of gas which is why they aren't classified as terrestrial planets.

Which of the following concepts best explains why a mass of low-density material in the mantle rises?Multiple Choice Strain Buoy
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)

Conceptual question about relativity: Imagine two events--
steposvetlana [31]
They are not the same event in that they occur in different places and times in most frames of reference. In the photon's frame they are not separated in either space nor time because photons don't experience time and at least mathematically all points on the spacetime manifold are the same point to a photon.  What the zero spacetime interval can tell us though, is that the events are connected by a light beam (light-like separation). There is as much time between the events as there is space and one event can conceptually cause the other. They are on the cusp between time-like and space-like  events.
