Answer : Weight of the truck = 9408 N

Explanation :

Given that,

Length  = 6.0 m

Width = 4.0 m

Depth = 4.00 cm

we know that,

weight of the truck = weight of the displaced water

weight of the truck =  m_{water}\times g

we know that,

density \rho = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

mass = density X volume

weight of the truck = \rho_{w}\times V_{w}\times g

Now, the volume = length X width X depth

V = 6.0\ m\times 4.0\ m \times 0.04\ m

V = 0.96\ m^{3}

Weight of the truck = 1000\ kg/m^{3}\times 0.96\ m^{3}\times 9.8\ m/s^{2}

Weight of the truck = = 9408\ kg- m/s^{2}

Weight of the truck = 9408 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which would BEST describes what occurs when a ball is thrown against a wall? A) The ball will not bounce off the wall. B) The ba
oee [108]

Answer:

D) The ball exerts a force on the wall and the wall exerts a force back.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on another object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A"

In this problem, we can identify (for instance) object A with tha ball and object B with the wall. Therefore, if we apply Newton's third law, we get:

The ball (object A) exerts a force on the wall (object B), therefore the wall (object B) exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball (object A). So, option D is the correct one.

If the net force on an object is in a negative direction, what will the direction of the resulting acceleration be?
Verdich [7]
Newton's 2nd law says:          Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

I wrote Force and acceleration in bold letters because
they're both vectors ... they have size and direction.

The equation is saying that the Force and the acceleration
are both in the same direction.

What property do the following elements have in common? Li, C, and F A) They are poor conductors of electricity. B) Each element
Aloiza [94]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given elements Li, C and F are all second period elements. So, when we move from left to right across a period then there occurs increase in number of valence electrons as there occurs increase in total number of electrons.

So, it means more electrons are added to the same energy level.

Thus, we can conclude that a property of valence electrons for each element is located in the same energy level is common in the given elements.

4.0 kg objects mive a distance of 7.8 m under the action of a cinstant gorce of 5.6 N. how much work is dine on object?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

43.68 J

Explanation:

Distance moved= 7.8 m

Force = 5.6 N

Work Done= Distance moved * Force

                   = 7.8 *5.6

                      =43.68 Joules
