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

If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the 1200.-kg pick-up truck behind him continues tr
Alborosie

Answer: 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above, we have the following data;

M1 = 800kg

M2 = 1200kg

V1 = 13m/s

V2 = 25m/s

U (common velocity) =?

M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U

(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U

10400 + 30000 = 2000u

40400 = 2000u

U = 40400 / 2000

U = 20.2 m/s

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're
musickatia [10]
<span>The answer is letter C.

Reflecting telescopes are more powerful than refracting telescopes. These are also called as reflectors which serves an optical telescope that uses a single or combination of curved mirrors. These mirrors then reflect light and form an image. It is designed for very large diameter objects and are mostly considered as major telescopes in the field of astronomy. They were used as an alternative for refracting telescopes during the 17th century because they suffer less chromatic aberrations than a refracting telescope does. <span>

You have given a power supply, copper wire, and an iron nail. What should you do to decrease the strength of the electro magnet?
Shkiper50 [21]
If you wrap some of the wire around the nail in one direction and some of the wire in the other direction, the magnetic fields from the different sections fight each other and cancel out, reducing the strength of your magnet.
