1. A wedge is attached to a rod and rotated around. A block sits on the frictionless wedge and does not move, as shown in the figure below. The block moves in a circle at a constant speed of 3.00 m/s with the wedge. Determine (a) how far up the wedge the block is located when measured along the wedge, and (b) the time the block takes to make one revolution. 30.0°

A small block of mass $m_{1}=0.500 {kg}$ is released from rest at the top of a curved wedge of mass $m_{2}=3.00 {kg},$ which sits on a frictionless horizontal surface as in Figure P6.73a. When the block leaves the wedge, its velocity is measured to be 4.00 $\mathrm{m} / {s}$ to the right, as in Figure ${P} 6.73 {b}$ . (a) What is the velocity of the wedge after the block reaches the horizontal surface? (b) What is the height $h$ of the wedge?
A small block of mass $m_{1}=0.500 \mathrm{~kg}$ is released from rest at the top of a curved wedge of mass $m_{2}=3.00 \mathrm{~kg}$, which sits on a frictionless horizontal surface as in Figure P6.65a. When the block leaves the wedge, its velocity is measured to be $4.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ to the right, as in Figure $\mathrm{P} 6.65 \mathrm{~b}$. (a) What is the velocity of the wedge after the block reaches the horizontal surface? (b) What is the height $h$. of the wedge?

A wedge with mass $M$ rests on a frictionless, horizontal tabletop. A block with mass $m$ is placed on the wedge $\textbf{(Fig. P5.112a).}$ There is no friction between the block and the wedge. The system is released from rest. (a) Calculate the acceleration of the wedge and the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration of the block. (b) Do your answers to part (a) reduce to the correct results when $M$ is very large? (c) As seen by a stationary observer, what is the shape of the trajectory of the block?
