Accelaration Angle Force Motion Motion in 1d Motion in 2d Net Net force Newton's second law

AI Thread Summary

To determine the acceleration in two-dimensional motion, the horizontal component of the net force is divided by the mass. The calculated value of 0.4 m s^-2 is confirmed as correct. The discussion emphasizes the importance of resolving forces into components for accurate calculations. Overall, the method used to find acceleration from net force is validated. This approach is essential for understanding two-dimensional motion dynamics.

My solution was to find the horizontal component of the net force and divide that by the mass. Am I right?

Yes, it is.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'

Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...

Thread 'Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes'

TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...
