A 15kg box is being pushed at an angle of 20 degrees with a force of 20 Newtons. What is the force of friction?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The force of the friction is oppsite to the applied force in the direction of relative motion and equal in magnitude if the box is not moving
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
