1. (i) R = m (g – a) weight = 49 N so m = 49/9.8 = 5kg R = 5 (9·8 – 5) R = 24N (ii) R = m (g + a) R = 5 (9·8 + 5) R = 74 N (iii) as a = 0 so R = mg = 49N

    (i) R = m (g – a)
    weight = 49 N
    so m = 49/9.8 = 5kg
    R = 5 (9·8 – 5)
    R = 24N

    (ii) R = m (g + a)
    R = 5 (9·8 + 5)
    R = 74 N

    (iii) as a = 0 so R = mg = 49N

  2. When there is no friction, the block slides down the inclined plane with acceleration. a = g sin θ when there is friction, the downward acceleration of the block is a´ = g (sin θ – μ cos θ) As the block slides a distance d in each case so d= 1/2 at² = 1/2 a't'² a/a' = t'²/t ² = (nt)²/t² = n² or gsinRead more

    When there is no friction, the block slides down the inclined plane with
    acceleration.
    a = g sin θ
    when there is friction, the downward acceleration of the block is
    a´ = g (sin θ – μ cos θ)
    As the block slides a distance d in each case so
    d= 1/2 at² = 1/2 a’t’²

    a/a’ = t’²/t ² = (nt)²/t² = n²
    or gsinθ/g(sinθ – μ cosθ) = n²

  3. Initial momentum = 0 using conservation of linear momentum mv + MV = 0 V= -mv/m ⇒ v = 2.5 m/s

    Initial momentum = 0
    using conservation of linear momentum
    mv + MV = 0
    V= -mv/m
    ⇒ v = 2.5 m/s
