The flat-bed trailer carries two 1500-kg beams with the upper beam secured by a cable. The coefficients of static friction betwe

en the two beams and between the lower beam and the bed of the trailer are 0.25 and 0.30, respectively. Knowing that the load does not shift, determine(a) the maximum acceleration of the trailer and the corresponding tension in the cable, (b) the maximum deceleration of the trailer.

Answer:

a) a= 8.33 m/s²,    T = 12.495 N , b)    a = 2.45 m / s²

Explanation:

a) this is an exercise of Newton's second law. As the upper load is secured by a cable, it cannot be moved, so the lower load is determined by the maximum acceleration.

We apply Newton's second law to the lower charge

            fr₁ + fr₂ = ma

The equation for the force of friction is

          fr = μ N

Y Axis

         N - W₁ –W₂ = 0

         N = W₁ + W₂

         N = (m₁ + m₂) g

Since the beams are the same, it has the same mass

        N = 2 m g

We replace

           μ₁ 2mg + μ₂ mg = m a

          a = (2μ₁ + μ₂) g

          a = (2 0.30 + 0.25) 9.8

          a= 8.33 m/s²

Let's look for cable tension with beam 2

          T = m₂ a

          T = 1500 8.33

          T = 12.495 N

b) For maximum deceleration the cable loses tension (T = 0 N), so as this beam has less friction is the one that will move first, we are assuming that the rope is horizontal

           fr = m₂ a₂

           N- w₂ = 0

          N = W₂ = mg

          μ₂ mg = m a₂

          a = μ₂ g

          a = 0.25 9.8

          a = 2.45 m / s²

An automobile of mass 1500kg moving at 25.0m/s collides with a truck of the mass 4500kg at rest. The car and the truck bounce of
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: Both forces are equal each other.

Explanation:

If we assume that no external forces act during the collision (based on the fact that the collision time is very small), total momentum must be conserved, and Newton's 3rd law must apply.

If the total momentum is conserved, the change in momentum for the automobile (caused by the truck) must be equal to the one caused to the truck by the car.

This change in momentum is caused by internal forces, which must be equal each other (even though of opposite signs).

Another way to explain this, is that by Newton's 3rd Law, the force applied by the automobile to the car, must be equal and opposite to the one the truck is applying to the car at the same time.

The ability of atoms to attract electrons is referred to as
dexar [7]

Answer: electronegativity

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself.  

The size of an atom decreases as we move across the period because the electrons get added to the same shell and the nuclear charge keeps on increasing. Thus the electrons get more tightly held by the nucleus.

As, the size of an element decreases, the valence electrons come near to the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons increases and thus the electronegativity increases.
