A stone is thrown up a slope of inclination 60° to the horizontal. At what angle to the slope must the stone be thrown so as to land as far as possible from the point of projection ?
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which a body is moving
The magnitude of the kinetic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces. The ratio being slightly less than that in the case of limiting friction
For moderate speeds the force of friction remains constant but decreases slightly with the increase of speed
