A. Increase is correct because the statement said the moons gravitational "PULL"
Answer:
The net force on the box is 2 N to the left.
The box will move to the left.
The acceleration on the box is 0.5 m/s^2 to the left.
Explanation:
Let's say movement to the right is positive and left is negative.
Bob: +10 N
John: -12 N
Add those together and you get a net force of -2 N, and the negative sign means that the box is moving to the left.
For the acceleration:
Fnet = ma
-2 = (4 kg)a
a = -0.5 m/s^2
Again, the negative sign in this answer means the box is being accelerated to the left.
Answer:
The work done by the gravel to stop the truck is 520.44 kJ
Explanation:
<u>Step 1</u>: Data given
Mass of the truck = 3047.8 kg
The ramp has an angle of 9.5 °
Velocity of the truck = 20.68 m/s
distance = 26.6 meters
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate initial kinetic energy
sin 9.5° = 0.165
h = ℓ*sin 9.5° = 26.6*0.165= 4.39 m
Ek = 1/2m*Vo² = 1/2*3047.8*20.68² = 651714.7 Joule = 651.7 kJ = initial kinetic energy
<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate potential energy
Epot = U = m*g*h = 3047.8*9.81*4.39 = 131256.25 Joule = 131.26 kJ
<u>Step 4:</u> What work is done by the truck on the gravel?
Frictional energy Ef = 651.7 kJ - 131.26 kJ = 520.44 kJ
