    Two blocks slide on an inclined plane

    Wouldn't the acceleration of the m2 block have to be larger to push down the m1 block?

    Using Conservation of Energy to Analyze a Potential Energy Graph

    Homework Statement I'm trying to figure out how to do D) and relate time to this potential energy graph. Homework Equations All I really know is that F = -dU/dx The Attempt at a Solution I tried to do something with F = ma and a = d2x/ dt2 and then set the - derivative of U(x) equal to the...

    Two blocks slide on an inclined plane

    I'm also trying to figure this problem out. I think have it, but am unsure of my answer. For the blocks to stay in contact as they slide down, F1≤F2 Block m1: Fnetx1 = FNx-Ffx Ff = μ1FN FN = Fgcosθ = m1gcosθ plugging into Fnet & Ff Fnetx1 = m1gsinθ-μ1m1cosθ Block m2: Same equations as block m1...
