Answer:

  The net force on the block  F(net)  = mgsinθ).

   Fw =mg(cosθ)(sinθ)

Explanation:

(a)

Here, m is the mass of the block, n is the normal force, \thetaθ is the wedge angle, and Fw  is the force exerted by the wall on the wedge.

Since the block sliding down, the net force on the block is along the plane of the wedge that is equal to horizontal component of weight of the block.

                    F(net)  = mgsinθ

The net force on the block  F(net)  = mgsinθ).

The direction of motion of the block is along the direction of net force acting on the block. Since there is no frictional force between the wedge and block, the only force acting on the block along the direction of motion is mgsinθ.

(b)

From the free body diagram, the normal force n is equal to mgcosθ .

                           n=mgcosθ

The horizontal component of normal force on the block is equal to force

                           Fw=n*sin(θ) that exerted by the wall on the wedge.

Substitute mgcosθ for n in the above equation;

                           Fw =mg(cosθ)(sinθ)

Since, there is no friction between the wedge and the wall, there is component force acting on the wall to restrict the motion of the wedge on the surface and that force is arises from the horizontal component for normal force on the block.

Perfect square of 11650​
suter [353]

Answer:

Since the area of the perfect square is 11650, and all of a squares sides ar equal, we just need to find the square root.

The square root of 11650 is 107.935166.

One side of the square is 107.935166

107.935166 x 107.935166 = 11650

A car travels 36 km in 30 minutes. The speed of the car is
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

72km/hr

Explanation:

Speed in Km is usually represented in hours. so if the car is in constant velocity, and if the car travels 36km in 30 min then it travels 72km in 1 hour.

so the speed of the car is 72km/hr
