Answer: N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

Explanation:

See attached for a sketch.

From the attachment.

.

N = normal reaction force on block

W = weight of the block

theta = angle of the inclined plane to the horizontal

From the sketch, we can see that

N is equal in magnitude but opposite direction to Wy

N = Wy

And

Wy = Wcos(theta)

Wx = Wsin(theta)

Then,

N = Wy = Wcos(theta)

But W = mass × acceleration due to gravity = mg

N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

Answer:

Mg Cos theta

Explanation:

Choosing a coordinate system parallel and perpendicular to the plane, since the acceleration perpendicular to the plane is 0, the net force perpendicular to the plane is also 0. Therefore, the magnitude of the normal force equals the magnitude of the y component of the weight.

Two objects are moving at equal speed along a level, frictionless surface. the second object has twice the mass of the first obj
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

They both rises to same height.

Explanation:

When an object is sliding up in friction less surface than according to conservation of energy its potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.

mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{2gH}

Here, m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and H is the height.

Here the height is independent on the mass of an object and its only depend on velocity.

Now according to the question, two objects have same velocity but they have different masses.

Therefore, they rises to the same height because  height will not change with mass.
