friction

[neon spoke]

q5

[cinder nexus]

if the ball is being pushed upwards

friction would act the opposite way

so downwards\

[neon spoke]

yeah

but

q4 friction is upwards

why's this the case?

[cinder nexus]

in question 4

the particle is sliding down

so friciton will be up right?

because friction opposes motion

[neon spoke]

nope

it says particle is pulling up the slope

it's just

what the fuck makes it different??

[cinder nexus]

okay

look at it again

read question 4

particle is sldiing down the ramp

5 is being pushed up

ignore the calculations

[neon spoke]

yes but its being PULLED?

like pulled upwards??

so i still dont get why is it downwards??

question doesnt even state the particle is sliding down the ramp

[cinder nexus]

you know that the particle is sliding down right

do you agree with me on that

and since

a force of magnitute P is attempting to pull the particle

the attempt doesnt change the fact that its going down

otherwise it wouldve said

so you know the particle is going down the ramp

think of the particle like a ball thats going down a hill and ur trying to pull it back up

[neon spoke]

oh

ok

ty

[cinder nexus]

do you get it?

[neon spoke]

yh

cheers
