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

If an incident light ray hits a flat smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of…
Nookie1986 [14]

Option B is correct. If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28°. It will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

<h3>What is the law of reflection?</h3>

The law of reflection specifies that upon reflection from a downy surface, the slope of the reflected ray is similar to the slope of the incident ray.

The reflected ray is consistently in the plane determined by the incident ray and perpendicular to the surface at the point of reference of the incident ray.

When the light rays descend on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is similar to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in a similar plane.

If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

Hence, option B is correct

A 77.0 kg rider sitting on a 7.3 kg bike is riding along at 9.3 m/s in the positive direction. The rider drags a foot on the gro
saw5 [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of rider=m=77 kg

Mass of bike =m'=7.3 kg

Initial velocity,u=9.3 m/s

Final velocity,v=6 m/s

A.Change in velocity=v-u=6-9.3=-3.3 m/s

Total mass,M=m+m'=77+7.3=84.3 kg

Change in momentum=M(v-u)=84.3(-3.3)=-278.19 kgm/s

B.Impulse=Ft=Change in momentum=-278.19kg m/s

C.Time,t=13.2 s

v=u+at

Using the formula

6=9.3+13.2a

13.2a=6-9.3=-3.3

a=-\frac{3.3}{13.2}=-0.25 ms^{-2}

F=ma

F=84.3(-0.25)=-21.075 N

D.S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

S=9.3(13.2)+\frac{1}{2}(-0.25)(13.2)^2

S=100.98 m
