AI Thread Summary
To determine the coefficient of kinetic friction for a 4.00 kg block pushed along the ceiling with an 85.0 N force at a 55.0° angle, the net force acting on the block must be calculated. The applied force can be broken down into horizontal and vertical components, with the vertical component affecting the normal force. The block accelerates at 6.00 m/s², allowing the net force to be derived from Newton's second law. The direction of the kinetic friction force opposes the motion of the block, acting to the left. Understanding these forces and their interactions is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

with a constant applied force of 85.0 N that acts at an angle of 55.0° with the horizontal. the block accelerates to the right at 6.00 m/s². determine the coefficient of kinetic frction between the block and the ceiling.

Could you please show us your work, or at least thoughts on how to begin this problem? Try to draw yourself a picture and look at the forces involved. In what direction does the kinetic friction force act?etcetc
 
i sort of drew a diagram of the forces, but still didn't really get it.
 
Did you break down the force?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
