Question
In the diagram below, the same small horizontal force is applied to blocks "A" and "B", however, block "A" generates a greater friction force than block "B". Question 16Select one:TrueFalse
Solution
The question seems to be incomplete as there is no diagram provided. However, based on the information given, we can't definitively say whether it's true or false that block "A" generates a greater friction force than block "B" just because the same small horizontal force is applied to both. The friction force also depends on other factors like the mass of the blocks and the nature of the surfaces in contact. So, without additional information, we can't definitively answer this question.

Block 1 and Block 2 have the same mass, m, and are released from the top of two inclined planes of the same height making 30o and 60o angles with the horizontal directoin, respectively. If the coefficient of friction is the same in both cases, which of the blocks is going faster when it reaches the bottom of its respective incline? Block 1 is faster Block 2 is faster. More information is needed to know which block is faster. Both blocks have the same speed at the bottom.
A 10 kg block is placed on a horizontal surface whose coefficient of friction is 0.25. A horizontal force P = 15 N first acts on it in the eastward direction. Later, in addition to P a second horizontal force Q = 20 N acts on it in the northward direction : (Both east and west are in the plane of the fig and the gravity acts perpendicular to this plane )The block will not move when only P acts, but will be about to move when both P and Q actIf the block moves, the acceleration will be 0.5 m/s2.When the block moves, its direction of motion will be (4/3) east of north When both P and Q act, the direction of the force of friction acting on the block will be (3/4) west of south
