Answer:
The work done by the gravel to stop the truck is 520.44 kJ
Explanation:
<u>Step 1</u>: Data given
Mass of the truck = 3047.8 kg
The ramp has an angle of 9.5 °
Velocity of the truck = 20.68 m/s
distance = 26.6 meters
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate initial kinetic energy
sin 9.5° = 0.165
h = ℓ*sin 9.5° = 26.6*0.165= 4.39 m
Ek = 1/2m*Vo² = 1/2*3047.8*20.68² = 651714.7 Joule = 651.7 kJ = initial kinetic energy
<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate potential energy
Epot = U = m*g*h = 3047.8*9.81*4.39 = 131256.25 Joule = 131.26 kJ
<u>Step 4:</u> What work is done by the truck on the gravel?
Frictional energy Ef = 651.7 kJ - 131.26 kJ = 520.44 kJ
Answer: Scattering reflection
Sunlight reaches earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gasses and particles in the air. Blue light is seen more than others because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
Explanation:
no, work is = force * distance or displacement
