You need to push a heavy box across a rough floor, and you want to minimize the average force applied to the box during the time

the box is being pushed. Which method for pushing results in the minimum average force being applied to the box? a. Keep pushing the box forward at a steady speed, b. Push the box forward a short distance, rest, then repeat until finished, c. Push the box so that it accelerates forward at a constant rate.

When pushing the body it is necessary to break the frictional force generated by the floor. Once this frictional force is overcome, the body will begin to move. Ideally, if a constant velocity is maintained or close to this value, the acceleration that will be exerted will tend to be zero and therefore, by Newton's second law the value of the Force will also tend to minimum values.

Remember that this law tells us that

F= ma

F= m \frac{\Delta v}{t}

Therefore the best strategy is A. keep pushing the box forward at a steady speed

Answer:

156.67 m/s

0.45676 times the speed of sound

Explanation:

Distance from the ground = 23.5 km = 23500 m

Time taken by the blast waves to reach the ground = 2\ minutes\ 30\ seconds=2\times 60+30=150\ s

Spedd of the wave would be

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}\\\Rightarrow v_b=\dfrac{23500}{150}\\\Rightarrow v-b=156.67\ m/s

The velocity of the blast wave is 156.67 m/s

v = Velocity of sound = 343 m/s

\dfrac{v_b}{v}=\dfrac{156.67}{343}\\\Rightarrow v_b=v\dfrac{156.67}{343}\\\Rightarrow v_b=0.45676v

The blast wave is 0.45676 times the speed of sound

In a given chemical reaction, the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. Which statement is true fo
Flura [38]

Energy is released in the reaction

Explanation:

In a given where the energy of the products is greater than that of the reactants, we can infer that energy is released in the reaction.

This indicates that the reaction is an exothermic or exergonic reaction.

These reaction types are accompanied by release of energy.

  • In an exothermic change energy is released to the surroundings.
  • The surrounding becomes hotter at the end of the change.
  • This applies in exergonic reaction which leaves a reaction having more energy than it originally started with.

What is the use of force to move an object over a distance?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

In physics, work is defined as the use of force to move an object. For work to be done, the force must be applied in the same direction that the object moves. Work is directly related to both the force applied to an object and the distance the object moves.                                                                                              <em>[I HOPE THIS HELPS* PLS MARK ME BRAINLIEST]</em>
