Friction of a sliding mass on a slope

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the friction of a sliding mass on a slope, emphasizing the role of kinetic friction in determining the mass's movement. Participants highlight the importance of calculating the normal force, expressed as N=mg*cos(theta), which is crucial for analyzing static friction. Questions arise about how kinetic friction relates to the normal force and the forces acting on the mass as it slides down the ramp. The necessity of applying free body diagrams is mentioned to visualize the forces at play. Overall, the conversation stresses the need for a solid grasp of these concepts to solve the problem effectively.

Homework Statement
Under which condition will the sliding stop? Show how you found this condition.
When the sliding stops, what distance will be traveled since t=0?
Relevant Equations
At t=0, its velocity is V0

Could you please help me with this? I guess move of the mass will be determined with kinetic friction.

Static friction is N=mg*costheta as far as I know.

That's the normal force due to gravity. How is kinetic friction related to that.

Also, have you learned about free body diagrams?
 
What force is sliding it down the ramp and what is that force equal to if the block is stopped?
 
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 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
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...
