Answer:

Mass, m = 1500 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the truck, F = 3000 N

Acceleration of the truck, $a=2\ m/s^2$

Let m is the mass of the truck. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as

F = m × a

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}$

$m=\dfrac{3000}{2}$

m = 1500 kg

So, the mass of the truck is 1500 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B

Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.

Answer:

126.56 m

Explanation:

Applying,

-F = ma............. Equation 1

Where F = frictional force, m = mass of the car, a = acceleration.

Note: Frictional force is negative because it act in opposite direction to motion
