When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to 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 gravity acting parallel to the boardequals the force of static friction. which of the following is the most general explanation for why the box accelerates down the board?

the force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, butf_gremains the same.
once the box is moving, f_gis smaller than the force of static friction but larger than the force of kinetic friction.
once the box is moving, f_gis larger than the force of static friction.
when the box is stationary, f_gequals the force of static friction, but once the box starts moving, the sliding reduces the normal force, which in turn reduces the friction.

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.

Estimate the kinetic energy of the neptune with respect to the sun as the sum of the terms, that due to its daily rotation about its axis, and that due to its yearly revolution about the sun. [assume the neptune is a uniform sphere with mass = 1.0×1026 kg , radius = 2.5×1010 m , rotation period 16.1 h , orbital period 6.01×104 d and is 4.6×109 km from the sun.]
