AI Thread Summary
Static friction is greater than kinetic friction on an inclined surface because static friction must overcome the initial resistance to motion. When a stationary object, like a heavy box, is pushed, it experiences higher static friction until enough force is applied to initiate movement. Once the object is in motion, kinetic friction takes over, which is typically lower and requires less force to maintain movement. This difference in friction types is due to the molecular interactions between surfaces, which are stronger when stationary. Understanding this concept is essential for grasping the mechanics of motion on inclines.

Hey, i was just wondering if anyone can explain why static friction appears to be higher then kinetic friction on a stationary object, which is on an incline?

~thx:confused:

As far as i know static friction will always be larger than kinetic friction. I can't explain the precise physics behind why that is true but imagine this situation.

Imagine there is a very heavy box on the floor that you want to push. When you try to push this box it won't budge because of the (static) friction between the floor and the box. Once you apply enough force you get the box moving and if you keep it moving you would notice that the (kinetic) friction force feels much less.

I hope this is the answer you are looking for. It is logical that static friction will be more than kinetic if you think about it. I'm sure you tried to push something that wouldn't budge, but once you got it moving it was much easier to push it.
 
thanx, that helped a lot :)
 
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 .
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...
