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.

How can submarines use echolocation to tell how close they are to the bottom of the ocean?
Lapatulllka [165]
To locate a specific target or to determine how close submarines are to the seafloor, they use active and passive sound navigation and ranging (or a SONAR, in simple terms.) It emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and relayed back to the ship. By determining how fast the sound wave travels back, the computers on the sub calculate how far they are from the target.

Hope this helps.

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above
Virty [35]

Answer:

v = 6.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above  the water, s = 1.8 m

The initial speed of the diver, u = 3.62 m/s

Let v is the speed with which she hit the water. It will move under the action of gravity. Using the equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2gs\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2gs} \\\\v=\sqrt{(3.62)^2+2(9.8)(1.8)} \\\\v=6.95\ m/s

So, she will hit the water with a speed of 6.95 m/s.
