A block of mass m is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination θ . The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block

does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block has a magnitude: (A) mg tan θ (B) mg sin θ (C) mg cos θ (D) mg sec θ

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

A small car is traveling at a speed of 60 mph on the highway. In the next lane, a large passenger bus is traveling at the same s
ki77a [65]

Answer:

A. The bus has more kinetic energy than the car.

Explanation:

We know that

Kinetic energy is the energy amount possessed from the body as in the motion

Also, the following formula should be used to determine the kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = 1 ÷ 2mv²

Here m represents the mass of the body  

and v represents the velocity of the body.

Therefore it should be based on the mass & velocity of the body  

In the case when the passenger bus have more kinetic energy as compared to the car so this is because of the the big mass  

Therefore, the first option is correct

Name two types of forces unbalanced and. balance
hjlf

When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.

An antelope moving with constant acceleration of 2m/s2 covers
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Explanation:

we use the formula for that 6s duration ....

<h2> S = ut + 1/2 at² </h2><h3>s = displacement </h3><h3>u = initial velocity </h3><h3>a = acceleration </h3><h3>t = time </h3>

so , S = (5 × 6) + (1/2 × 2 × 6 × 6 )

S = 30 + 36

<h3> S = 66m</h3>

and we can use this formula to find the final velocity.......

<h2> V = U + at </h2><h3>V = final velocity </h3><h3>a = acceleration </h3><h3>u = initial velocity </h3><h3>t = time </h3>

so , V = 5 + (2×6)

V = 5 + 12

<h3> V = 17m/s </h3>
