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.

Oxygen. Plants need water sunlight and CO2 to make their food. They get the carbon and the energy from the CO2 and the sun, and they need water as well. Then they release oxygen

HELPPP PLEASEEE!!!!!
devlian [24]

Answer:

1) The speed of sound increases

2)  440 Hz

3)  29°C

4)  17°C

5) 434 Hz

6)  12 m/s

7)  17.3 m

Explanation:

1) The speed of sound increases

2) V = f×λ

f = V/λ = 343/0.78 = 439.744 ≈ 440 Hz

3) V = f×λ

512 × 0.68 = 348.16 m/s

348.16 - 331 = 17.16

T = 17.16/0.6 = 28.6 ≈ 29°C

4) Increase in speed = 350 - 340 = 10

Increase in temperature = 10/0.6 = 16.67° ≈ 17°C

5) f = V/λ = 343/0.79 = 434 Hz

6) 331 + 0.6×30 - (331 × 0.6 ×10) = 12 m/s

7) V = 331 + 0.6×25 = 346m/s

λ = 346/20 = 17.3 m

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial speed, u = 4 m/s

Final velocity, V = 11 m/s

Time, t = 8 seconds

t2, = 16 seconds

Acceleration, a= (change in velocity) / time interval

a = (11 - 4) / 8

a = 7 / 8 = 0.875m/s²

Final velocity, v2 ;

Acceleration * t2

0.875 * 16 = 14

V2 = 14 m/s

Final speed : v + v2 = (11 + 14)m/s = 25m/s
