Answer: mg/Cosθ

Explanation:

Taking horizontal acceleration of wedge as 'a'

FCosΘ = FsinΘ

F = mass(m) × acceleration(a) = ma

For horizontal resolution g = 0

Therefore,

Horizontal = Vertical

maCosΘ = mgSinΘ

aCosΘ = gSinΘ

a = gSinΘ/CosΘ

Recall from trigonometry :

SinΘ/Cosθ = tanΘ

Therefore,

a = gtanΘ

Normal force acing on the wedge:

mgCosΘ + maSinΘ - - - - (y)

Substitute a = gtanΘ into (y)

mgCosΘ + mgtanΘsinΘ

tanΘ = sinΘ/cosΘ

mgCosΘ + mgsinΘ/cosΘsinΘ

mgCosΘ + mgsin^2Θ/cosΘ

Factorizing

mg(Cosθ + sin^2Θ/cosΘ)

Taking the L. C. M

mg[(Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ) /Cosθ]

Recall: Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ = 1

mg[ 1 /Cosθ]

mg/Cosθ

kramer

Answer:

Both substance will melt and become a solution.

Explanation:

When a mixture of iron filings (black substance) and sulphur powder (yellow substance) are heated in a test tube under a bunsen burner, usually they will undergo a chemical reaction where they will melt to form a new solution of ferrous sulphide.

Thus, we can say what happens is that both substances melt to form a solution.

Mangrove forests play an important role in _______.
AysviL [449]
D. All of the above

At high tide fish will feed among the mangrove roots - rich fishing ground

The trees trap sediment and soil in the river that would flow out to sea which also helps stop erosion

Wildlife utilise almost every part of the tree, with insects and birds, monkeys and lizards in the branches, shrimps and fish in the roots, and snails and clams in the soil

Samantha and Emily are pushing a box of textbooks in the same direction across their classroom. Samantha is applying a force of
velikii [3]

Answer: 20 newtons

Explanation:

Given that:

Force applied by Samantha = 10 newtons

Force applied by Emily = 10 newtons

Direction of both forces = same

Net force of their efforts = ?

Since net force of forces applied in the same direction is obtained by adding up the seperate forces applied, then

Net force = (10 newtons + 10 newtons)

Net force = 20 newtons

Thus, the net force of their efforts is 20 newtons.
