A: The basis attributed to IRA assets that you inherited remains the same. Since you are a spouse beneficiary and you elect to treat the assets as your own by transferring them to your own IRA, the basis is now treated as if you made the non-deductible contribution.
Static friction is greater than kinetic friction because of irregularities between the static object and the surface upon which it rests. The irregularities mesh together making it more difficult to start movement than to keep the object in motion. Continue Reading.
Often textbook problems are idealized by assuming that friction and other energy dissipative processes have negligible effect, all bodies behave as rigid bodies, any connecting cords have negligible mass, are perfectly flexible but do not stretch. Very often these problems yield to any one of several methods.
