A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

Answer:

1) The matter absorbs or reflects the light

2) Lens

3) <u><em>Concave</em></u>- curves inwards.  Diverges light

b.<u><em>Convex</em></u>- curves outward.  Converges light

4) The image is real if the distance of the object from the lens is greater than the focal length and virtual if it is less than the focal length

5) Lens and, for convex lenses, on the distance between the lens and the object.

6) Index of refraction?

Concept map for kinetic energy, work and power
Helen [10]

Kinetic energy: the energy of motion

Work: the change in kinetic energy

Power: the rate of work done

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The work done an object is the amount of energy transferred; according to the energy-work theorem, it is equal to the change in kinetic energy of an object:

W=K_f - K_i

where

K_f is the  final kinetic energy

K_i is the initial kinetic energy

Finally, the power is the rate of work done per unit time. Mathematically, ti can be expressed as

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time elapsed
