A block of mass $m$ is placed on an inclined plane with an angle of $\theta$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is $\mu_s$. What is the maximum angle $\theta$ for which the block will remain at rest?
A block of mass $m$ is placed on an inclined plane with an angle of $\theta$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is $\mu_s$. What is the maximum angle $\theta$ for which the block will remain at rest?
- $\theta = \arctan(\mu_s)$ (correct)
- $\theta = \tan(\mu_s)$
- $\theta = \arcsin(\mu_s)$
- $\theta = \arccos(\mu_s)$

Two objects with masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ ($m_1 > m_2$) are connected by a massless string over a frictionless pulley. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the objects when they are released?
- $g$
- $(\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1 - m_2})g$
- $(\frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2})g$ (correct)
- $(\frac{m_1}{m_2})g$

Two skaters, one with a mass of 60 kg and the other with a mass of 80 kg, stand facing each other on frictionless ice. The 60 kg skater pushes the 80 kg skater away with a force that lasts for 0.5 seconds, giving the 80 kg skater a velocity of 2 m/s. What is the velocity of the 60 kg skater immediately after the push?
