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

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Second Choice.

Explanation:

Jack's Power = W/t

Jill's Power = 2W/(0.5)*t

2/0.5 = 4

Jill's Power = 4*W/t

Jill's Power is 4 times greater than Jack's

Answer:

Option 3. The tennis ball began from rest and rolls at a rate of 14.7 m/s safer 1.5 seconds.

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, it is important that we know the definition of acceleration.

Acceleration can simply be defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

a = (v – u) /t

Where

a => acceleration

v => final velocity

u => Initial velocity

t => time

With the above information in mind, let us consider the options given in the question above to know which conform to the difinition of acceleration.

For Option 1,

We were told that the tennis ball has the following:

Distance = 4 m

Time = 1.5 s

This talks about the speed and not the acceleration.

Speed = distance / time

For Option 2,

We were only told about the average speed and nothing else.

For Option 3,

We were told that the tennis ball have the following:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 14.7 m/s

Time = 1.5 s

This talks about the acceleration.

a = (v – u) /t

For Option 4,

We were only told that the tennis rolls to the right at an average speed. This talks about the average velocity. We need more information like time to justify the acceleration.

From the above illustrations, option 3 gives the correct answer to the question.

Given the following specific heat capacities, which material was have the largest change in temperature if 10 grams of each subs
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You could calculate it out by assuming the same starting temperature for each substance. (You have to assume that the substances do start at the same temperature anyway).

That's like shooting 12 with 2 dice. It can be done, but aiming for a more common number is a better idea.

Same with this question.

You should just develop a rule.  The rule will look like this

The greater the heat capacity the (higher or lower) the change in temperature.

The greater the heat capacity the lower the change in temperature

That's not your question. You want to know which substance will have the greatest temperature change given their heat capacities.

Answer

lead. It has the smallest heat capacity and therefore it's temperature change will be the greatest.
