Theory IdPhO 2020 Q2 — Anisotropic friction (10 points) · 10 т.
Условие
Force of friction is not always isotropic. Often the magnitude and direction of a friction force depend on the direction of body motion. For example, friction anisotropy can arise in the presence of "grooves" of a certain orientation on the contact surface of bodies (it is known that the coefficient of friction of oak against oak along and across the grain is equal to 0.48 and 0.34, respectively). Friction anisotropy can lead to unusual properties of motion which are studied in this problem.
What you need to know about anisotropic friction
Suppose that a surface is made of an anisotropic material. One of the most popular models of anisotropic friction suggests that there are perpendicular axes and (they are called primary) so that the friction force acting on a body will depend on the direction of the body motion as
where and are the friction force components, is a normal reaction force acting on the body, and are components of the velocity vector , and and are the friction coefficients along the primary axes.
Hereinafter, it is understood that the coordinate axes on the plane coincide with the primary axes. The friction coefficients are and unless otherwise stated.
In parts A and B a body can be considered as point-like. The plane, on which the bodies move, is horizontal in all parts of the problem.

A.5 In a single diagram on the plane, sketch the trajectories of the body launched at the angles and for the friction coefficients specified above. The magnitudes of initial velocities are the same. Solve the same problem for the friction coefficients and . [1 т.]
Part B. Conditions for the beginning of body movement (2.0 points)
B.1 A body of mass is at rest at the origin. A force has been applied to it at an angle to the axis. The force magnitude linearly grows with time. Find the dependence of the moment the body starts moving on . Ignore the stagnation phenomenon. [2 т.]

If , then the accelerations along the x and y axes will be proportional to the ratio of the initial velocities and the body will move in a straight line. If , then the speed along the x-axis will decrease faster than in the previous case and the body will deviate from a linear motion as shown in the figure. The direction of deflection does not depend on how the initial velocity is directed. If , then the body will deviate in the opposite direction.
