Answer:
Explanation:
An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:
(1)
where
is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity, the angle of the slope
is the frictional force, with being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline
The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is
where
R is the normal reaction
is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope
Solving for R,
And substituting into (1)
Re-arranging the equation,
This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of , the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.
Answer:
2 kg
Explanation:
Acceleration = 5 m/s^2
Force = 10 N
Force = mass * acceleration
mass = force / acceleration
mass = 10 / 5
mass = 2 kg
Answer:
it ends when clouds above start to break apart. Some tornadoes only last seconds. Others can last much longer. They come in many shapes and sizes.
I can't guess what -9.8 m/s means until you tell me where it came from,
or what 'm/s' means.
If perhaps it has something to do with the acceleration of gravity on Earth,
then the correct figure is ' -9.8 m/s² '. That means that any object that
has no other force acting on it except gravity has its speed changing by
9.8 meters per second every second. Since it's gravity doing the job,
then the object's speed is either increasing down, or decreasing up.
If an object has negative velocity, then it's moving in the direction opposite
to the direction that you decided to call positive when you started doing the
problem.
For example, if you decide that up is positive and down is negative, and
then somebody drops a stone from the top of a tall building, then the
gravitational force on the stone is negative (pointing down), its velocity
is negative (it's falling towards down), and its acceleration is negative (its
speed towards down is getting faster and faster). Everything is negative,
only because you decided that up is positive and down is negative. It's
nothing to be worried about.
