A flatbed truck is carrying a 20.0 kg crate along a level road. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed

is 0.400, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.300. what is the maximum acceleration that the truck can have if the crate is to stay in place relative to the truck?

<span>3.92 m/s^2 Assuming that the local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then the maximum acceleration that the truck can have is the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, so 0.4 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 m/s^2 If you want the more complicated answer, the normal force that the crate exerts is it's mass times the local gravitational acceleration, so 20.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 kg*m/s^2 = 196 N Multiply by the coefficient of static friction, giving 196 N * 0.4 = 78.4 N So we need to apply 78.4 N of force to start the crate moving. Let's divide by the crate's mass 78.4 N / 20.0 kg = 78.4 kg*m/s^2 / 20.0 kg = 3.92 m/s^2 And you get the same result.</span>

Is 2/2 1 or 0? please help lol
Komok [63]

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for such mathematical operations, we can wee that the slash represents a fraction or a division, say 8 ÷ 4 = 2, 6 ÷ 3 = 2, 20 ÷ 4 = 5, etc. In such a way, since the operation 2/2, represents 2 ÷ 2, it is clear that two is once in 2, therefore, the result is:

2 ÷ 2 = 1.

How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance?
san4es73 [151]

Frost will disturb the smooth flow of air over the wing, unpleasantly distressing its lifting competence. In other words, this spoils the even flow of air over the wings, by this means decreasing lifting capability. Also, frost may avoid the airplane from becoming flying at normal departure speed.

The stopping sight distance for a car traveling at 50 mph is 461 ft (including both perception-reaction distance and braking dis
Ivan

Answer:

2.08 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed,v=50mph=73.3ft/s

1 mile=5280 feet

1 hour=3600 s

Distance,d=461 ft

t=2.5 s

v'=60 mph=88 ft/s

We have to find the perception reaction time.

Perception reaction distance=d_p=vt=73.3\ti es 2.5=183.25 feet

d_p=d'_p

d'_p=v't

t'=\frac{183.25}{88}=2.08 s

Connelly cuts a solid object in half. What happens to the mass, volume, and density of the object that Connelly cuts? A)The mass
amm1812
I think the correct answer would be D. After cutting the solid object in half, the mass and volume are both divided by two, but the density remains the same. The mass and volume would change accordingly to satisfy the law of conservation of mass which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed. So, after dividing the object the sum of the mass of the two parts should be equal to the original mass of the object. This would also be the same for the volume of the objects. Density is the ratio of mass and volume and, since the mass and volume change accordingly, the value of the density would still be the same regardless of the object being divided.
