A block slides down a frictionless incline. The incline is fixed in place on a table.
i. Is the net force on the block always zero? Explain.
ii. Is the net force on the incline always zero? Explain.
iii. Is the net force on the block-incline system always zero? (Hint: Draw free-body diagrams for the block, incline, and system consisting of both objects.) Explain.
iv. Is the momentum of the block conserved? Explain.
v. Is the momentum of the incline conserved? Explain.
vi. Is the momentum of the block-incline system conserved? Explain.

- A capacitor with a capacitance of C = 5.95×10−5 F is charged by connecting it to a 12.5 −V battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery and connected across an inductor with an inductance of L = 1.55 H . At the time 2.35×10−2 s after the connection to the inductor is made, what is the current in the inductor? At that time, how much electrical energy is stored in the inductor?arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question. Thanks.arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question.
