Olin [163]
The material that the snails are moving on affects their speed. On a smooth material, (petri dish) the snails moved the fastest. On a rough material (sandpaper) the snails moved the slowest. On dirt, a compromise between smooth and rough, the snails moved at a medium pace. The material and possibly friction affect this.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces

Explanation:

                   The main view of the world worked geologically prior to the 1960s was that the mountains were formed by the vertical forces of nature.

                    The early people prior to 1960s believed in many different natural phenomenons and they give their own reasons for their occurrence. But later many researchers and geophysicists studied the formation of the earth and came with possible answers to these questions.

Thus the answer is  

" It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces."

A wedge with an inclination of angle θ rests next to a wall. A block of mass m is sliding down the plane. There is no friction b
Softa [21]

Answer:

  The net force on the block  F(net)  = mgsinθ).

   Fw =mg(cosθ)(sinθ)

Explanation:

(a)

Here, m is the mass of the block, n is the normal force, \thetaθ is the wedge angle, and Fw  is the force exerted by the wall on the wedge.

Since the block sliding down, the net force on the block is along the plane of the wedge that is equal to horizontal component of weight of the block.

                    F(net)  = mgsinθ

The net force on the block  F(net)  = mgsinθ).

The direction of motion of the block is along the direction of net force acting on the block. Since there is no frictional force between the wedge and block, the only force acting on the block along the direction of motion is mgsinθ.

(b)

From the free body diagram, the normal force n is equal to mgcosθ .

                           n=mgcosθ

The horizontal component of normal force on the block is equal to force

                           Fw=n*sin(θ) that exerted by the wall on the wedge.

Substitute mgcosθ for n in the above equation;

                           Fw =mg(cosθ)(sinθ)

Since, there is no friction between the wedge and the wall, there is component force acting on the wall to restrict the motion of the wedge on the surface and that force is arises from the horizontal component for normal force on the block.
