When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to a larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some point "break loose" and start to accelerate down the board. The box begins to slide once the component of its weight parallel to the board, , equals the maximum force of static friction. Which of the following is the most general explanation for why the box accelerates down the board after it begins to slide (rather than sliding with constant speed)?

a. Once the box is moving, w|| is greater than the force of static friction but less than the force of kinetic friction.
b. Once the box is moving, w|| is less than the force of static friction but greater than the force of kinetic friction.
c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of static friction.
d. When the box is stationary, w|| equals the force of static friction, but once the box starts moving, the sliding reduces the normal force, which in turn reduces the friction.

An isolated conducting spherical shell carries a positive charge. part a which statement (or statements) about the electric field and the electric potential inside and outside the spherical shell is correct? which statement (or statements) about the electric field and the electric potential inside and outside the spherical shell is correct? electric potential inside the shell is constant and outside the shell is changing as 1/r2 both the electric potential and the electric field does change with r inside and outside the spherical shell electric potential inside and outside the shell is constant, but not zero electric potential inside the shell is constant and outside the shell is equal to zero electric field inside and outside the shell is constant (does not change with the position r), but is not equal to zero electric field inside and outside the shell is changing as 1/r (where r is the distance from the center of the sphere) electric field inside is equal to zero and outside the shell is constant, but not zero electric potential inside the shell is constant and outside the shell is changing as 1/r electric field inside and outside the shell is changing as 1/r2 electric field inside is equal to zero and outside the shell is changing as 1/r2 electric field inside and outside the shell is zero electric field inside is constant and outside the shell is changing as 1/r

Aplayground merry-go-round has a radius of 4.6 m and a moment of inertia of 200 kg-m2 and turns with negligible friction about a vertical axle through its center. a child applies a 26.0 n force tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round for 15.0 seconds. if the merry-go-round is initially at rest, how much work did the child do on the merry-go-round?
