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.

Which features on mars point to the possibility of liquid water on the planet?
Stells [14]
     In 2011 NASA researchers identified features on Mars known as Recuring Slope Lineae ( or RSL ). RSL are relatively dark and narrow features.They are thought to be a signs of salty liquid water on Mars. One hypothesis for RSL formation is that they form when underground bodies of salty water leak into the surface.
   Answer: Recuring Slope Lineae.

The true brightness of an object is called its
g100num [7]
<span>The true brightness of an object is called its luminosity. It is the total amount of energy emitted by bright or meteorological objects over a period of time. It has the SI unit of joules per second or watts. So the answer is letter A. Intensity is the measure of how strong the substance or object is when it projects something. Magnitude is a measure of how great is the size the object produces. Viscosity is the measure of flow of a substance.</span>
