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

An electromagnetic wave is transporting energy in the negative y direction. At one point and one instant the magnetic field is i
natali 33 [55]

Answer:. Option c

Explanation: the speed of an electromagnetic wave is simply the vector product of the magnetic field and the electric field.

The direction of the velocity is the direction of the electromagnetic wave.

The wave is already moving towards the negative y axis (-j) and the magnetic field is already pointing towards the positive x axis (i)

From cross product of unit vectors

i × j = k

i × k = - j

With the second identity, we can see that the electric field will be pointing towards the positive of the x axis (k).

Option c is validated

An object that has negative acceleration is definitely doing what?
aksik [14]

Answer:

An object with 0 acceleration is accelerating in a direction that is opposite to a stated positive direction.

Explanation:

Acceleration is not always based on speeding up or slowing down (a constant speed is no acceleration at all), it's also based on direction. If you state that an object is positively accelerating when you throw it upwards, then it's negatively accelerating when it's falling even though it's velocity is increasing.
