    Calculating theta from alpha: Tan(theta)=Cot(alpha)

    Bro , i thought geometrically and angle was not equal to alpha , i also tried this [ Tan(theta) = Cot(alpha), Tan(theta) = Tan(90-alphal), So, theta = 90 - alpha], is it correct

    Calculating theta from alpha: Tan(theta)=Cot(alpha)

    After impact VCos(alpha) will be normal to the inclined, now i calculated for theta by using [ Tan(theta) = vCos(alpha)/vSin(alpha),. Tan(theta)= Cot(alpha) ]. I don't know how to solve further to get value of theta, according to book thta = alpha.

    Two balls of mass 4kg and 2 kg are moving in 1-D, answer the following

    Thanx for the Welcome, and you were right, the actual value of speed was 9.33333333 and i got the right answer using that.

    Calculating Momentum and Energy Conservation in Elastic Collisions

    I know how to solve along x and y-axis but i can't think of how to start solving in the dricection on m1.

    Two balls of mass 4kg and 2 kg are moving in 1-D, answer the following

    My attempt- a) used equation { MV + mv = (M+m) V' } and got the right answer. b) I assumed that potential energy was asked for when the two balls were moving together with velocity 9.3m/s, so I used that when before the collision K.E( of m) + K.E( of M) will be equal to K.E(of M+m) +P.E(...

    Calculating Safe Velocity: Why Is 4th Option Incorrect?

    Thanks for the reply.. I think the question just wanted to know value of frictional force.

    Calculating Safe Velocity: Why Is 4th Option Incorrect?

    1). I calculated maximum safe velocity using the equation - V(max)=√200x10x0.2 =20m/s So the speed at which car is traveling is greater than the safe speed.. So the car should skid. So why 4th option is not correct ?

    What is the kinetic energy of the block when it is moved 2cm.

    First i am sorry for writing wrong Units and thanks for the torque units and also for telling me about the tension will be variable.. can you lastly tell me how tension will have zero work as internally, if you explainna little bit..

    What is the kinetic energy of the block when it is moved 2cm.

    My attempt at the solution... I only have problem in solving part a) 1) i calculated the spring force actingbon the table block and it is greater than the frictionnand tension force acting in the opposite direction, so by that the block will move in left. 2) now i found that which forces are...

    A smooth massless wedge is pushed by a horizontal Force P....

    Can you please explain the answer, I have been stuck with this for 3 days now, 2 days I thought about it myself and then yesterday I posted this question

    A smooth massless wedge is pushed by a horizontal Force P....

    Let's think of this, even if N1 <mgCos(theta) then let's make it's components one will be in horizontal and one will be in vertical and the vertical component of N1 will be canceled by the Ng given by the ground, then what will cancel horizontal component. ?

    What to do next I can't figure it out...

    A smooth massless wedge is pushed by a horizontal Force P....

    ok, it won't be, let me try drawing FBD.

    A smooth massless wedge is pushed by a horizontal Force P....

    the force mass m exerts is the Normal reaction between them. The mg will have two component mgcos(theta) and mgSin(theta), the mgSin(theta) is just parallel to inclined surface so it will not affect the wedge, the mgCos(theta) is pushing on the wedge, so what's next
