A block of mass 0.6 kg rests on the inclined
surface of a wedge of mass 1.8 kg. The wedge
is acted upon by a horizontal force F and slides on a frictionless surface.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s
If the coefficient of static friction between
the wedge and the block is 1 and the...

I don't know if I set the equation for horizontal component of the bigger block correctly:
\huge{\Sigma F_{x_1} = F_a - (f_k + N_2) = ma}
If this is true then it seems that there is not enough given information to find F_a. Are there some other way...
A rock dropped from a cliff falls one-third of its total distance to the ground in the last second of its fall. How high is the cliff?
I'm not asking for answer, I know the Physics Forum rules, but I am totally unsure where to start. I guess I have to use the equation d = Vot + at²/2 ...
An object is thrown downward with an initial speed of 6 m/s from a height of 42 m above the ground. At the same instant, a second object is propelled vertically up from ground level with a speed of 55 m/s. At what height above the ground will the two objects pass each other?
The acceleration...
A load of bricks is being lifted by a crane at a velocity of 5 m/s when one brick falls off 6m above the ground. What is the greatest height the brick reaches above the ground?
How do you solve it?
The attempt at a solution
Since it fell of 6 meters above the ground, the greatest height...
