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:

Explanation:

All the displacement will be converted into vector, considering east as x axis and north as y axis.

5.3 km north

D = 5.3 j

8.3 km at 50 degree north of east

D₁= 8.3 cos 50 i + 8.3 sin 50 j.

= 5.33 i + 6.36 j

Let D₂ be the displacement which when added to D₁ gives the required displacement D

D₁ + D₂ = D

5.33 i + 6.36 j + D₂ = 5.3 j

D₂ = 5.3 j - 5.33i - 6.36j

= - 5.33i - 1.06 j

magnitude of D₂

D₂²= 5.33² + 1.06²

D₂ = 5.43 km

Angle θ

Tanθ = 1.06 / 5.33

= 0.1988

θ =11.25 ° south of due west.

Give a calculate answer to show that the two values (English system and metric system) for the Planck Constant are equivalent.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Given values of Planck Constant are equivalent in English system and metric system.

Explanation:

Value of Planck's constant is given in English system as 4.14 x 10⁻¹⁵eV s.

Converting this in to metric system .

We have 1 eV = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Converting

     4.14 x 10⁻¹⁵eV s = 4.14 x 10⁻¹⁵x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ Joule s

So Given values of Planck Constant are equivalent in English system and metric system.
