block of mass m that is released from rest at h = 0.5 m above the surface of a table, at the top of a θ = 25.0° incline. The frictionless incline is fixed on a table of height H = 2.00 m.
a. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block as it slides down the incline?
b.What is the magnitude of the velocity of the block just as it leaves the incline?
c. What is the horizontal distance R from the table for which the block will hit the floor?
d. How much time elapses between when the block is released and when it hits the floor?
e. The incline is fastened to the tabletop and has mass M. Derive a symbolic expression for the magnitude of the horizontal component of the force the tabletop exerts on the incline in terms of m, M, g, and θ while the block m is on top of the incline.
f. Do the same for the vertical component of the force the tabletop exerts on the incline.
