An inclined plane is sliding, and accelerating, on a horizontal frictionless surface. There is a block at rest on the sloping surface, held in place by a static friction through the horizontal acceleration of the system. the coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane is 0.615. the slope of the incline plane is 42.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

a) What is the minumum acceleration of the inclined plane for the square block not to slide?

I found a=1.891 m/s^2

b) what is the maximum acceleration of the inclined plane for the square block not to slide?

To apply the concept of base of support, have a partner stand with his or her feet together and see how much force you must apply to move him or her off balance. Then, have your partner stand with the feet farther apart and repeat your attempts to push him or her off balance. Explain the concept behind how the two differ and how a patient would use this concept if he had balance difficulties and did not use assistive devices to walk

In your own words explain why the force and acceleration vectors in Uniform Circular Motion point inward. Also discuss the differences between Centripetal Force and Centrifugal Force.

Two masses, m1 and m2, are falling but not freely. In addition to gravity, there is also a force F1 applied directly to m1 in the downward direction and a force F2 applied directly to m2 in the horizontal direction. Friction (µs) is present between the two masses and the forces are applied such that they do not rotate. The force F2 is as large as it can be and not have m2 slide relative to m1. (a) Find an expression for the acceleration of the center of mass of the m1 + m2 system in terms of m1, m2, F1, F2, and g? (b) Draw a FBD for each mass separately. Identify motion constraints and Newton's 3rd law force pairs. (c) Write down Newton's 2nd law applied to each mass separately. (d) If both masses are each 2 kg, the coefficient of static friction between the surface is µs = 1/2, and F1 = 25 N, What is the value of F2?

A physics instructor wants to project a spectrum of visible-light colors from 400 nm to 700 nm as part of a classroom demonstration. She shines a beam of white light through a diffraction grating that has 600 lines per mm, projecting a pattern on a screen 2.9 m behind the grating.

a 1.0 x 10³ kg toyota collides into the rear end of a 2.2 x 10³ kg cadillac stopped as a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 2.8 m before stopping. The police officer,knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road was .4 calculated the speed of the toyota at impact. What was that speed? Please show the steps that got you to the answer as that is what I am interested in! thanks

As simply as you can but with complete and comprehensive detail, state and explain each of Newtons Three Fundamental Laws of Motion. After you have explained all Three Laws look come up with and explain an example problem of your own. It must include an explanation of how at least one of Newton's laws is used if not more than one. (can not use online sites)

Now let's consider the impulse associated with kicking a soccer ball (Figure 1). The ball has mass 0.40 kg . Initially it moves horizontally to the left at 20 m/s, but then it is kicked and given a velocity with magnitude 30 m/s and direction φ=45∘ upward and to the right. Find the impulse of the force and the average force on the ball, assuming a collision time Δt=0.010s.

angle: 27

Part A:Suppose the ball is moving at 30 ∘ downward from the horizontal before it is kicked. If all the numerical values are the same as before, find the magnitude of the average force on the ball. Express your answer in newtons to two significant figures.

Part B:Find the direction of the average force on the ball found in Part A. Express your answer in degrees to two significant figures.

Suppose that an event occurs in the reference frame S with coordinates x = 2m, y = 0m and z = 0m at t = 4m/c. The frame S’ moves in the positive x-direction with velocity u = 0.2c.

The trajectory of a rock thrown from a height with an initial speed of 19.7 m/s is shown in the figure below. Evaluate the magnitude of the gravitational field at the surface of the planet. The planet has no atmosphere.

How do you determine what velocity and angle is needed so that both the x and y displacement are equal to each other at a specific point?
