Kinetic and

A brick is resting on a smooth wooden board that is at a 30° angle. What is one way to overcome the static friction that is holding the brick in place?
11 point)
O raise the board to a higher angle
O press down on the brick in a direction that is perpendicular to the board
O roughen up the texture of the wooden board
o lower the board so it's level with the ground

Answer 1

raise the board to a higher angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Static friction is the force opposite to the applied force.

Static friction is dependent on the angle of inclination, it means as the angle of incline increases, the force of friction will increases as normal force will decrease.

So, if the board will be raised to a higher angle, it will increase the angle of incline and will overcome the static friction and block will be able slide.

Hence, the correct option is "raise the board to a higher angle".
