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.

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

First: Leave a couple inches of wire loose at one end and wrap most of the rest of the wire around iron  u-shaped bar and make sure not to overlap the wires.

Second:Cut the wire (if needed) so that there is about a couple inches loose at the other end too.

Third: Now remove about an inch of the plastic coating from both ends of the wire and connect the one wire to one end of a battery and the other wire to the other end of the battery.

When two waves interact with their crests and troughs in alignment is called?
marissa [1.9K]

When two waves interact with their crests and troughs in alignment is called constructive interference. If two waves of the same wavelength occupy the same space in such a way that their crests and troughs align, the wave they produce will have an amplitude greater than that possessed by either wave initially. This is known as constructive interference. The more closely the waves are in phase—that is, perfectly aligned—the more constructive the interference.

Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.

Explanation:

let's take the volume of each first:

ice cream: 10×10×4=400cm^3

freezer: 40×40×20=32,000cm^3

now we just divide: 32000/400=80
