I mean in order for the two blocks to stay in contact, m2 must have a higher or equal velocity compared to m1. If not, they would not be in contact? Right? If m2 has a "greater" velocity, it would mean that m1 and m2 would slide together? If that makes any sense...
I am not given the numerical values for any of the variables, and the question asks that under what conditions the blocks remain in contact with each other. Therefore I assume that m2 must slide faster than m1. m2 is higher according to the picture.
Homework Statement
Two blocks slide on an incline of angle \theta . Block 1 has mass m1 and coefficient of kinetic friction μ1 with the surface, block 2 has mass m2 and coefficient of kinetic friction μ2. The gravitational acceleration is g.
In terms of these parameters, under what condition...
