A 2.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth (frictionless) ramp that makes an angle of 30^\circ30 ∘ with the horizontal. What is
the force of the ramp on the block?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the surface is frictionless therefore there will be no friction force on block but there will be weight of block which we can divide in to two components i.e. mgcosθ &mgsinθ which is perpendicular and parallel to the surface respectively.
In response to mgcosθ ramp will apply a normal force to the block which will be of equal magnitude to that of mgcosθ.
Therefore Ramp will apply a Force of mgcosθ on block where m is the mass of block.

Answer:
The correct answer to the question is (A)
When it hits the heavy rope, compared to the wave on the string, the wave that propagates along the rope has the same (A) frequency
Explanation:
The speed of a wave in a string is dependent on the square root of the tension ad inversely proportional to the square root of the linear density of the string. Generally, the speed of a wave through a spring is dependent on the elastic and inertia properties of the string
Therefore if the linear density of the heavy rope is four times that of light rope the velocity is halved and since
v = f×λ therefore v/2 = f×λ/2
Therefore the wavelength is halved, however the frequency remains the same as continuity requires the frequency of the incident pulse vibration to be transmitted to the denser medium for the wave to continue as the wave is due to vibrating particles from a source for example
