Suppose the truck that’s transporting the box In Example 6.10 (p. 150) is driving at a constant speed and then brakes and slows

at a constant acceleration. While coming to a stop, the driver looks in the rear-view mirror and notices that the box is not slipping. In what direction is the frictional force acting on the box?

Answer:

Friction acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the truck and box.

Explanation:

Let's first review the problem.

A moving truck applies the brakes, and a box on it does not slip.

Now when the truck is applying brakes, only it itself is being slowed down. Since the box is slowing down with the truck, we can conclude that it is friction that slows it down.

The box in the question tries to maintains its velocity forward when the brakes are applied. We can think of this as the box exerting a positive force relative to the truck when the brakes are applied. When we imagine this, we can also figure out where the static friction will act to stop this positive force. Friction will act in the negative direction. Or in other words, friction will act in the opposite direction to the motion of the truck and box. This explains why the box slows down with the truck, as friction acts to stop its motion.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

True  b and c

Explanation:

In an RLC circuit the impedance is

         Z = \sqrt{[R^{2} + ( (wL)^{2} + (\frac{1}{wC})^{2} ]     }

examine the different phrases..

a) False. The maximum impedance is the value of the resistance  

b) True. Resonance occurs when  

              (wL)² + (1 / wC)² = 0

               w² = 1 / LC

c) True. In resonance the impedance is the resistive part and the power is maximum  

d) False. In resonance the inductive and capacitive part cancel each other out  

e) False. The impedance is always greater outside of resonance, but at the resonance point they are equal

A 1.50-V battery supplies 0.414 W of power to a small flashlight. If the battery moves 4.93 1020 electrons between its terminals
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI................ Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, I = Current.

make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 0.414 W, V = 1.50 V

Substitute into equation 2

I = 0.414/1.50

I = 0.276 A

Also,

Q = It............... Equation 3

Where Q = amount of charge, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/I.................. Equation 4

From the question,

4.931020 electrons has a charge of (4.931020×1.6020×10⁻¹⁹) coulombs

Q = 7.899×10⁻¹⁹ C

Substitute these value into equation 4

t =  7.899×10⁻¹⁹/0.276

t = 2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds
