    Friction
In summary, the conversation discusses a physics homework problem involving a crate on an inclined plane with friction. The participants discuss drawing a free body diagram and setting up equations for motion in the x and y directions. They also discuss when the particle will have uniform velocity and the necessary force to move the crate with uniform velocity.

The Attempt at a Solution



i've drawn a free body diagram and got my equations to be
x=-490sin30 + f=50a
y=-490cos30 + n = 50a
and now I am stuck



the 'x' one is correct.

For the 'y' one, the resultant force perpendicular to the plane is 0 so -490cos30+N = ? (so what is N?)

n is

Hi zhangsterii, welcome to PF.
Since crate is moving down a should be... ?
In the y direction there is no motion. So in that direction acceleration is zero.
Now what is the frictional force f?

For both x and y you have written 50a. How is it that?

I am asking "when the particle moves with uniform velocity?" Refer Newtons first law.
 
  • #14
when there is no accerlation
 
  • #15
Correct.
When the acceleration is zero on an inclined plane with friction?

that doesn't make sense...your wording
 
  • #17
when velocity is constant

Now If you pull the crate in the upward direction, what is the direction of the frictional force?
What is the net down ward force?
To move the crate with uniform velocity, how much force you have to apply?

the direction of friction would be downward and to move the crate, you would need a force equal to the force of friction?
Along with the frictional force you have to overcome the component of weight in that direction to pull the crate up.
 

1. What is friction?

Friction is a force that occurs when two surfaces come into contact with each other and resist motion. It is caused by microscopic bumps and ridges on the surfaces that interlock and create resistance to movement.

2. How is friction calculated?

Friction is calculated by multiplying the coefficient of friction (a constant that represents the roughness of the surfaces) by the normal force (the force perpendicular to the surface). The resulting value is the force of friction.

3. What are some examples of friction in everyday life?

Some examples of friction in everyday life include walking (between your shoes and the ground), writing (between the pen/pencil and paper), and driving (between the tires and the road).

4. How does friction affect motion?

Friction can either slow down or stop motion, as it acts in the opposite direction of the applied force. It also converts kinetic energy into heat, which can further slow down an object's motion.

5. How can friction be reduced?

Friction can be reduced by using lubricants (such as oil or grease) between surfaces, using smoother surfaces, or reducing the force pushing the surfaces together (such as using wheels instead of sliding objects). However, completely eliminating friction is impossible.
