Let h =  distance (m) to the water surface.

Initial velocity, u  = 0 (because the stone was dropped).
Use the formula
 h = ut + (1/2)gt^2
  where g = 9.8 m/s^2  (acc. due to graity)
              t = time (s)

h = (1/2)*(9.8)*(3^2) = 44.1 m

A 150-N box is being pulled horizontally in a wagon accelerating uniformly at 3.00 m/s2. The box does not move relative to the w
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, a=3\ m/s^2

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.  

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}

m=15.3\ kg

Frictional force is given by :

F=ma

F=15.3\times 3

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

The work-energy principle states that the work done by all the __________ forces acting on an object (or system of objects) caus
CaHeK987 [17]

The work-energy principle states that the work done by all the non-conservative forces acting on an object (or system of objects) causes a change in the total mechanical energy of the object or system.


What is the work-energy principle?
The work-energy principle states that the total work done on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system. It is given as:

W.D = ΔK.E

       = K.E₁ - K.E₂

where K.E₁ is the initial kinetic energy of the system

            K.E₂ is the final kinetic energy of the system



What is meant by non-conservative forces?

Non-conservative forces as the name suggests are not conserved i.e. these forces cause a loss of mechanical energy from the system. A prime example of non-conservative forces is friction.

The total mechanical energy of the system is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy that the system contains. This energy is conserved and follows the work-energy theorem.

Toby's Trucking Company determined that on an annual basis, the distance traveled per truck is normally distributed, with a mean
Reptile [31]

Answer: 56994 miles

Explanation:

Given : Toby's Trucking Company determined that on an annual basis, the distance traveled per truck is normally distributed with

\mu=50,000\text{ miles}

Standard deviation : \sigma=12,000\text{ miles}

Let a be the distance traveled by at least 72% of the trucks.

Let X be the random variable that represents the distance traveled by a truck

Then P(x\geq a)=0.72

The critical value corresponds to p-value 0.72 :z=0.5828415

Also, z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\Rightarrow\ 0.5828415=\dfrac{a-50000}{12000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=12000(0.5828415)+50000=56994.098\approx56994

Hence, 56994 miles will be traveled by at least (equal to and more than) 72% of the trucks .

Which force has an infinite range and is always attractive
leva [86]

Answer:

Gravitational Force.

Explanation:

Being one of the fundamental forces of nature, gravitational force is the weakest but has an infinite range. It is always attractive and acts between any two pieces of matter in nature.
