1. This image shows the various forces acting on a block of rock situated on a rock slope. What does arrow 4 represent?
2 answers:
Answer:
B. Gravitational force
Explanation:
The gravitational force of an object (also called weight) is given by
where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity, and it always points in the downward direction.
In this problem, the arrow labelled with 4 is the only force pointing downward: therefore, it must be the gravitational force.
The other arrows represent:
1 --> component of the gravitational force parallel to the plane
2 --> force of friction
3 --> component of the gravitational force perpendicular to the plane

Answer:
31.75 m/s
Explanation:
h = 41.7 m
Let the initial velocity of the second stone is u
Let the time taken to reach to the bottom by the first stone is t then the time taken by the second stone to reach the ground is t - 1.8.
For first stone:
Use second equation of motion
Here, u = 0, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and t be the time and h = 41.7
So, 41.7= 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2
41.7 = 4.9 t^2
t = 2.92 s ..... (1)
For second stone:
Use second equation of motion
Here, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and time taken is t - 1.8 = 2.92 - 1.8 = 1.12 s, h = 41.7 m and u be the initial velocity
.... (2)
By equation the equation (1) and (2), we get
u = 31.75 m/s
