Answer:

F = 852 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law to the trailer :

F = m*a   Formula (1)

F : net force exerted by the truck on the trailer Newtons (N)

m : mass of the trailer in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration of the trailer in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data

a=1.20 m/s² : acceleration of the trailer

m=710 kg : mass of the trailer

We replace data in the   Formula (1)  to calculate the net force exerted by the truck on the trailer

F = (710 kg)*(1.20 m/s²)

F = 852 N

In an experiment, an object is released from rest from the top of a building. Its speed is measured as it reaches a point that i
NikAS [45]

Answer:

so the speed will increase by 1.44 times then the initial speed if the distance is increased to double

Explanation:

As we know that the air friction or resistance due to air is neglected then we can use the equation of kinematics here

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

since we released it from rest so we have

v_i = 0

so here we have

v_f = \sqrt{2gd}

now if the distance is double then we have

v_f' = \sqrt{2g(2d)}

now from above two equations we can say that

v_f' = \sqrt2 v_f

so the speed will increase by 1.44 times then the initial speed if the distance is increased to double

If temp. gets cold resistance in thermostat increases so voltage across it increases AND LED lights brighter. I understand every
Valentin [98]

Normally, when something gets colder, its electrical resistance gets smaller.  This is true of component-A in the drawing ... a simple resistor.

The component labeled 'B' has a strange and unusual symbol, and it's not a simple resistor.  It's a "thermistor".  The word "thermal" always has something to do with heat, and "thermistor" comes from "thermal resistor.  These things can be manufactured either way ... using different materials, a thermistor can be manufactured so that its resistance goes UP, or goes DOWN, or doesn'tchange when it gets colder.  I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.

When this circuit gets colder, resistance-A gets smaller, but resistance-B either gets bigger OR doesn't change.  Either way, the voltage across B increases.  Since the LED is connected directly across B, the current through it depends on that voltage, so the LED gets more current, and becomes brighter, when A and B both get colder.

This circuit could actually be a very useful device.  If you took out the LED and put a voltmeter in its place, then the reading on the voltmeter would tell you the temperature of wherever you put the two components A and B.

Does sound travel much faster than light ?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

nothing travels faster than light

Example:

You’ll always see lightning before you hear it, because typically lightning will be a mile away, two miles away.
