In a force diagram set-up, we name the angle of inclination theta, g as the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the forces acting on the box going down is the weight itself impeded by the friction between the box and the inclined plane.

The weight of the box is expressed as mg sin theta
The frictional force is expressed as the normal force times the coefficient of friction that is expressed as mu g cos theta.

By Newton's second law of motion,  F = ma = mg sin theta - mu g cos theta
Thus, a = g (sin theta - u cos theta

What is the difference between centrifugal force and centripetal force???
topjm [15]
Centripetal force is defined as, "the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward toward the center of rotation," while centrifugal force is defined as "the apparent force that is felt by an object moving in a curved path that acts outwardly away from the center of rotation," according to Merriam Webster Dictionary.

A capacitor is connected to an ac generator. As the generator’s frequency is increased, what happens to the capacitor connected
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Current in the capacitor increases as the frequency of the generator increases

Explanation:

Xc = 1/2πfC = 1/ wC

Since frequency is inversely proportional to reactance of a capacitor,

as the frequency increases, the capacitance decreases and tend towards behaving like a wire with zero resistance as such the generator send high current to the capacitor, the current in the capacitor increases.
