A Problem of Relative, Constrained Motion

Physics Education 2009-10-31 v1 Classical Physics

Abstract

We develop a new method to determine the acceleration of a block sliding down along the face of a moving wedge. We have been able to link the solution of this problem to that of the inclined plane problem of elementary physics, thus providing a simpler solution to it.
