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>

What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is used for mass spectrometry
Alex73 [517]

The energy of the electromagnetic spectrum is not used in mass spectrography to make measurements.

<h3>What is mass spectrometry?</h3>

In physics and chemistry, mass spectrometry refers to statistical analytical techniques that allow scientists to determine the mass distribution of various types of molecules based on their mass on a substance.

The energy of the electromagnetic spectrum is not used in mass spectrography to make measurements. The process of mass spectrometry is primarily based on the interaction of molecules with a beam of electrons (rather than photons) and the subsequent measurement.

Hence the energy of the electromagnetic spectrum is not used in mass spectrography to make measurements.

Answer:

1.) Waves carry energy through empty space or through a medium without transporting matter. While all waves can transmit energy through a medium, certain waves can also transmit energy through empty space. ... When waves travel through a medium, the particles of the medium are not carried along with the wave.

2.) Mechanical Waves are waves which propagate through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) at a wave speed which depends on the elastic and inertial properties of that medium. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Longitudinal waves vibrating in the direction of propagation while Transverse waves vibrate at right angles to the direction of its propagation.

3.) They can carry a little energy or a lot of energy. They can be transverse or longitudinal. However, all waves have common properties—amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed. Amplitude describes how far the medium in a wave moves.

I hope this helps!

Why do we feel the effects of gravity given that the gravitational force is so weak?
almond37 [142]
Any two objects in the universe attract each other. Gravity is the force exerted by earth on you (you exert the same force on earth) but due to the fact that earth has a huge mass compared to yours, you will be attracted to earth only by a small gravitational force.
