An object is moving in a straight line at constant speed. A resultant torce begins to act upon
alekssr [168]

Answer: The velocity magnitude or the velocity direction chages.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a system moved in same direction and is also directly proportional to the external force which acts on it while inversely proportional to the mass. The formula is: a = F/m

Based on the question, since the object obtains acceleration, then it can be infered that there will be changes in the velocity magnitude or the direction as a result of the motion.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

So to calculate the time it will take to make the ball stop(which btw means the ball now reach its greatest height), use the formula V1=V0+at. V1 is the final velocity(which is 0), V0 is the starting velocity(which is 30m/s), and the a(cceleration) is 9.8m/s^2.

(You can ignore the fact "at" is -30 instead 30, it's because the directions two velocity travel are opposite. )

We can now know the time it takes to make the ball stop just by the gravitational force is about 3 sec.

Use another formula S=1/2at^2, to find out the S(height) is 1/2*9.8*3^2=44.1, which is approximately D.45m .

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.767

Explanation:

The work done on the truck by the frictional drag force is given by

W=-Fd

where

F is the magnitude of the frictional force

d = 38.0 m is the maximum displacement allowed for the truck

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is opposite to the motion of the truck

The force of friction can also be written as:

F=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the lane

m is the mass of the truck

g is the acceleration of gravity

So we can rewrite the work done as

W=-\mu mg d (1)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the truck:

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (2)

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the truck

u = 23.9 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

By combining (1) and (2) we get

-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = -\mu mg d

And solving for \mu, we find the minimum coefficient of kinetic friction able to stop the truck in a distance d:

\mu = \frac{u^2}{2gd}=\frac{23.9^2}{2(9.8)(38.0)}=0.767
