An advertisement for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) claims that the ATV can climb inclined slopes of 35°. The minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7
In an inclined plane, the coefficient of static friction is the angle at which an object slide over another.
As the angle rises, the gravitational force component surpasses the static friction force, as such, the object begins to slide.
Using the Newton second law;




N = mg cos θ
Equating both force component together, we have:



From trigonometry rule:

∴



Therefore, we can conclude that the minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7

It's been a while since I've studied this, but my answers would be:
13. 5730 years. The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of it to decay, and, according to the graph, half of the substance remained at 5730 years.
14. 10740 years. According to the graph, only 25% of the carbon remained after 10740 years.
15. 15 atoms. According to the graph, only 12.5% of the carbon remained after 16110 years. 12.5% of 120 atoms is 15 atoms.
16. 1600 atoms. According to the graph, if a sample of carbon is 10740 years old, only 25% of it remains. To find the original amount, multiply the current amount by (100% / 25%), which equals 4. So, 4. 400 atoms * 4 = 1600 atoms is the original amount.
