MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    A block rests on a ramp of 45 degrees. The block is not moving, but is at its threshold; the slightest force will cause it to slide down the ramp. As it rests, what is the approximate ratio of forces due to static friction versus kinetic friction experienced by the block?

     

    A

    1:1 static:kinetic

    B

    1:0 static:kinetic

    C

    0:1 static:kinetic

    D
