Thank you very much :D

I see ...so from the ground the block appears moving with less steep angle since wedge is moving to left right ? so how can I calculate the angle with respect to ground ?

I am sure it is correct from my analysis and also from solution manual . Notice also that considering conservation of energy and momentum using block velocity relative to incline yields the exact same answer .

Homework Statement A block of mass m is held at rest at height h on an inclined plane of mass M, placed on a horizontal surface as shown. The block is then released. Find the speed of the inclined plane v_{I} just as the block slides off of it. Neglect all frictional forces. Express your...
