When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to a larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some p

oint "break loose" and start to accelerate down the board. The box begins to slide once the component of its weight parallel to the board, , equals the maximum force of static friction. Which of the following is the most general explanation for why the box accelerates down the board after it begins to slide (rather than sliding with constant speed)?
a. Once the box is moving, w|| is greater than the force of static friction but less than the force of kinetic friction.
b. Once the box is moving, w|| is less than the force of static friction but greater than the force of kinetic friction.
c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of static friction.
d. When the box is stationary, w|| equals the force of static friction, but once the box starts moving, the sliding reduces the normal force, which in turn reduces the friction.

Answer:

c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of static friction

Explanation:

When the box finally does break loose. Then the component of the box weight which is parallel to the board weight parallel component, is equal to the \mu_gn.

w_{box}=\mu_gn

For the box to acce;erate thee must be non-zero net force acting on the box parallel to the board. Or we can say,

w_1>f_g\\w_1>\mu_gn

Therefore the force of kinetic friction must be less than the force of static friction. Thus,

\mu_g

On the way home from school, Taylor's car runs out of gas. He has to walk 25m north and 10m west in order to reach the nearest g
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Displacement  and Distance</u>

These are two related concepts. A moving object constantly travels for some distance at defined periods of time. The total distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is calculated independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final positions of the object. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can even have magnitude zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

Taylor walks 25 m north and 10 m west. The total distance is the sum of both numbers:

d = 25 m + 10 m = 35 m

To calculate the displacement, we need to know the final position with respect to the initial position. If we set the coordinates of Taylor's car as the origin (0,0), then his final position is (-10,25), assuming the west direction is negative and the north direction is positive.

The magnitude of the displacement is the distance from (0,0) to (-10,25):

D=\sqrt{(25-0)^2+(-10-0)^2}

D=\sqrt{625+100}=\sqrt{725}

D = 26.93 m

The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m

A 5 N force is applied to a 3 kg ball to change its velocity from 9 m/s to 3 m/s. What is the impulse on the ball ?
nika2105 [10]
So, first the formula of Impulse is
I = force * time
We have force but no time.
Then, find time.
Next find acceleration,
F = mass * acceleration
5 = 3 * a
1.67 m/s^2
Next find time,
Acceleration = change in velocity / time
Change in velocity is velocity final - velocity initial
1.67 = 3 - 9 / time
Time = 3.6 s (round to 2 s.f.)
Lastly,
Impulse = force * time
Impulse = 5 * 3.6
Impulse is 18 Ns
