- A basket of flowers of mass 3 kg is placed on a flat grassy slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the basket and the slope is 0.45 and the basket is on the point of slipping down the slope. Model the basket of flowers as a particle and the grassy slope as a plane. Take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, g, to be 9.8 m s−2 Express the forces in component form, in terms of θ and unknown magnitudes where appropriate. Write down the equilibrium condition for the basket and hence show that tan θ = 0.45. Determine the angle, in degrees, that the slope makes with the horizontal.arrow_forwardThe angular velocity vector, ω, can be obtained by adding all components of the angular velocities or byA. taking half of the Laplacian form of the vector v.B. taking half of the curl of vector v.C. taking the gradient of vector v.D. solving for the cross product of the vector field and the gradient of v.arrow_forwardA sodium ion (Na+) moves in the xy-plane with a speed of 2.90 ✕ 103 m/s.

- The equation r(t) = (3 sin t) i + (3 cos t)j + (t) k is the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the particle's velocity and acceleration vectors. Then write the particle's velocity at t=2x as a product of its speed and direction. The velocity vector is v(t)=i+j+ k. an example Get more help.
