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

An x-ray photon is scattered by an originally stationary electron. how does the frequency of the scattered photon compare relati
Viefleur [7K]

The frequency of the scattered photon decreases or it will be lower compare to the frequency of incident photon. An x-ray photon scatters in one direction after a collision and some energy is transferred to the electron as it recoils in another direction resulting to have less energy in the scattered photon. In addition, the frequencies will also depend on the differences of the angle at which the scattered photon leaves the collision and this incident is called Compton Effect.

On the way to school, Jed traveled 100m north, 300m east, 100 north, 100m east, and 100m north. A.) Find the total distance trav
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Total distance = 700 m

Displacement = 500 m

Explanation:

Notice that Jed travelled a total of 3 x 100 m = 300 m in the North direction, and 300 m + 100 m = 400 m in the East direction. Therefore the total distance he travelled is:  300 + 400 = 700 m.

But the actual displacement is given by the Pythagorean theorem as the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle of legs 300 m and 400 m:

displacement = \sqrt{300^2+400^2} =\sqrt{250000} =500\,m
