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.

A car accelerates from rest at -3.00m/s^2. What is the velocity at the end of 5.0s? What is the displacement after5.0s?
Andrew [12]

Speed = (acceleration) x (time)
Velocity = (speed) in (direction of the speed)

Speed = (-3 m/s²) x (5 s) = 15 m/s
Velocity =
             (15 m/s) in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive
.

Displacement = (distance between start-point and end-point)
                           in the direction from start-point to end-point.

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)²
Distance = (1/2) (3 m/s²) (5 s)²
                 = (1/2) (3 m/s²) (25 s²)  =  37.5 meters

Displacement =
                     37.5 meters in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive.

A car travels from point A to point B, moving in the same direction but with a non-constant speed. The first half of the distanc
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

From A to B

distance traveled with velocity v_1  in time t_1

\frac{d}{2}=v_1t_1----1

from B to C

distance traveled is 0.5 d with v_2  and v_3  velocity for half-half time

\frac{d}{2}=\frac{v_2t_2}{2}+\frac{v_3t_3}{2}----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{1}{1}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{v_2t_2+v_3t_3}

\frac{t_1}{t_2}=\frac{v_2+v_3}{2v_1}

Now average velocity is given by

v_{avg}=\frac{d}{t_1+t_2}

taking t_1  common

v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{t_1(1+\frac{t_2}{t_1})}

v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1}{1+\frac{2v_1}{v_2+v_3}}

v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1(v_2+v_3)}{2v_1+v_2+v_3}

Honeybees accumulate charge as they fly, and they transfer charge to the flowers they visit. Honeybees are able to sense electri
Vilka [71]

Answer:

ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the electric field expression

         E = k q / r²

where k is the Coulomb constant that is equal to 9 109 N m² /C², q the charge and r the distance to the point of interest positive test charge, in this case the distance to the bee

let's calculate the field for each charge

 

Q = 24 pC = 24 10⁻¹² C

         E₁ = 9 10⁹ 24 10⁻¹² / 0.20²

         E₁ = 5.4 N / C

Q = 32 pC = 32 10⁻¹² C

         E₂ = 9 10⁹ 32 10⁻¹² / 0.2²

         E₂ = 7.2 N / C

let's find the difference between these two fields

         ΔE = E₂ -E₁

         ΔE = 7.2 - 5.4

         ΔE = 1.8 N / C

the minimum detection field is

         E_minimum = 0.77 N / C

        ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km

For direction,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
