Answer:

Acceleration = a = 3.75 m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of truck1 = m1 = 2300 kg

Mass of truck2 = m2 = 2500 kg  

Total mass = m = m1 + m2 = 2300 + 2500 = 4800 kg

Force exerted by truck1 = F = 18000 N

As both trucks are joint together so, behaving as single object. The acceleration can be found by Newton’s second law of motion.

F = ma  

a = F/m = 18000/4800

a = 3.75 m/s^2

F=ma
m=total mass = 2300kg+2500kg=4800
F=18000N
a=?
a=F/m
a=18000/4800
a=3.8m/s^2

What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.

What two factors affect the gravitational force between two objects
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.Explanation:

The phosphorus cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere,
ludmilkaskok [199]

A

most common source of phosphates in the soil is the weathering of the mineral apatite.

Explanation:

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals like hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite, and chlorapatite. When apatite rocks weather, they release the phosphate minerals mainly in the form of PO₄ ³⁻ . These minerals become dissolved in water (hydrosphere), where they are readily available to plants and other organisms in the biosphere. The phosphates are taken up and used in biosynthesis. When these organisms die and become buried with sediments, the phosphate gets back to the lithosphere as sedimentary rock.

A force causes a mass of 4 kg to have an acceleration of 8 m/s2. Suppose something causes the mass to be one-quarter of its orig
solniwko [45]

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F = ma

Given that m = 4 kg and a = 8 m/s²:

F = (4 kg) (8 m/s²)

F = 32 N

If m is reduced to 1 kg and F stays at 32 N:

32 N = (1 kg) a

a = 32 m/s²

So the acceleration increases by a factor of 4.
