Answer:

negative

Explanation:

He is decreasing acceleration. To calculate, imply do 10-5= 5, but since it is a decrease, we must say -5

Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 25 kg and the larger bottom crate has a m
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the bigger crate be in touch with the ground which is friction less. In the first case both m₁ and m₂ will move with common acceleration because m₁ is not sliding over m₂.

1 ) Common acceleration a = force / total mass

= 234 / ( 25 +91 )

= 2.017 m s⁻².

2 ) Force on m₁ accelerating it , which is nothing but friction force on it by m₂

= mass x acceleration

= 25 x 2.017

= 50.425 N

The same force will be applied by m₁ on m₂ as friction force which will act in opposite direction.

3 ) Maximum friction force that is possible between m₁ and m₂

= μ_s m₁g

= .79 x 25 x 9.8

= 193.55 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 193 .55 / 25

= 7.742 m s⁻²

This is the common acceleration in case of maximum tension required

So tension in rope

= ( 25 +91 ) x 7.742

= 898 N

4 ) In case of upper crate sliding on m₂ , maximum friction force on m₁

=  μ_k m₁g

= .62 x 25 x 9.8

= 151.9 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 151.9 / 25

= 6.076 m s⁻².

How long does it take for a truck accelerating at 1.5 m/s^2 to got from rest to 75 km/hr
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

t = 13.9s

Explanation:

u = 0 m/s

v = 75 km/h

= 20.83 m/s

a = 1.5 m/s²

Using

v = u + at

20.83 = 0 + 1.5t

t = 13.9s

Plsss help I don’t understand this
nekit [7.7K]

B is the correct option.

1. Given eqn;

S(t) = 1/2t² - 4t + 8

2.Differentiate the above eqn with respect to t;

<u>d(S(t))</u> = t - 4

dt

When distance, S, is differentiated it results to velocity.

V = t - 4

at t = 10

V = 10 - 4

V = 6 feet/s

Can someone explain it with steps?
Anton [14]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer

Explanation:

Distance travelled by car during reaction time

=15\times0.4\\\\=6m

The car stopped before hitting the animal by 1 m

Distance travelled during deceleration is 21-6-1=14m

Hence by v^2=u^2+2as

We have

0^2=15^2+2 \cdot a \cdot 14\\\\a=\frac{-225}{28} \\\\=-8.03m/s^2

Option C is the correct answer
