Question

g A mouse is sitting on top of the block in the previous question. As a reminder, the block is sliding down a ramp at a constant speed, and the ramp is at an angle. How many forces from our list of forces in this class (ignoring air drag) are acting on the mouse at this time?

Answer 1

The number of forces that are acting on the mouse will be three (Normal force, friction force and force of the mouse´s weight)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of forces that are acting on the mouse will be three. the first is the normal force acting on the midpoint of the mouse, this force is directed upward, the other is the force between the block and the bottom of the mouse, which is the friction force, and the third is the force of the mouse´s weight, which is defined as the multiplication of mass by gravity.
