Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the distance covered while moving from initial to final velocity

a is the acceleration

_____________________________________________

Given

box moved for distance of 62.5 m

Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2----> this statement means that there is deceleration , speed of truck decreases by 5 m/s in every second until the box comes to rest. Friction causes this deceleration.

thus in this problem

a = -5.0 m/s2

V = 0   as body came to rest due to friction deceleration

u the initial velocity we have to find

the initial velocity of box will be the same as speed of truck, as the box was in the truck and hence box will pick the speed of truck.

so if we find speed of box, we will be able get sped of truck as well.

using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\0^2 = u^2 + 2*-5* 62.5\\0 = u^2 - 625\\u^2 = 625\\\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{625} \\u = 25

Thus, initial speed with the truck was travelling was 25 m/s.

What happens to temperature during condensation?
Alla [95]

CONDENSATION is the process by which water vapor (gas) in the atmosphere turns into water (liquid state). It is the opposite of EVAPORATION.Cool temperatures are essential for condensation to happen, because as long as the temperature in the atmosphere is high, it can hold the water vapor and delay condensation. So the temperature in condensation rises.

Pressure is about 1000 hPa at sea level and about 500 hPa at an altitude of 5.5 km. Why doesn’t this vertical pressure gradient
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.

Explanation:

A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:

p = p_0 + \rho g h

where p, p_0 are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.

B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.

C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.

D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.

E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.

We think of the response of the circuit as the ratio of the maximum current to the maximum voltage provided. Explain why the rat
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Z = R, i = V/Z,    w = √1 / LC

Explanation:

In an RLC circuit the impedance of the circuit is

          Z = √[R² + (X_{L} - X_{C})²

Where

      X_{L} = wL

      X_{L} = 1 / wC

They are the reactances of the inductor and the capacitor, in this case the current advances to the voltage in the first and is delayed from the voltage in the second, so when the two values ​​give the same reactance the current goes in phase with the voltage and the impedance is minimal

          Z = R

          V= i Z

           i = V/Z

Therefore the current is maximum, this occurs when

       w = √1 / LC

Saying that this is the resonant frequency
