Find the friction force impeding its motion

AI Thread Summary
To find the friction force impeding the motion of a 13.0 kg box on a 32-degree incline accelerating at 0.10 m/s², a free body diagram is essential to resolve the forces into x and y components. The frictional force can be calculated using the net force equation, considering gravitational force and normal force. The coefficient of kinetic friction can be determined using the relationship between the frictional force and the normal force. Including units in calculations is crucial for clarity and accuracy. A thorough understanding of the forces at play will lead to the correct answers for both parts of the problem.

Hey man include the units for your numbers. You should draw the free body diagram and resolve the forces acting on the box into the x and y component so you can find the frictional force. Use uN to find the coefficient of kinetic friction.
 


mmm force diagram and even a \mu could help

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
