Answer:

A) the maximum possible acceleration = 3.83 m/s²

B) F(SUV bumper) = 2400  kg *3.83 m/s² = 9192 N = 92 * 10² N

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the truck = 2300 kg

Mass of the SUV = 2400 kg

The maximum forward force on the truck is 18000 N

Step 2: What is the maximum possible acceleration the truck can give the SUV?

Total mass = MAss truck + mass SUV

Total mass = 2300 kg + 2400 kg

Total mass = 4700 kg

Acceleration = Force / mass

The maximum possible acceleration = 18000 N / 4700 kg

the maximum possible acceleration = 3.83 m/s²

Step 3: At this acceleration, what is the force of the SUV's bumper on the truck's bumper?

F = m * a

F(trucks bumper) = 2300 kg *3.83 m/s² = 8809 N

F(SUV bumper) = 2400  kg *3.83 m/s² = 9192 N = 92 * 10² N

Answer:

a) a_{max} = 3.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, b) F = 9260\,N

Explanation:

a) The maximum possible acceleration that the truck can give to the SUV is:

a_{max} = \frac{18,000\,N}{2,400\,kg+2300\,kg}

a_{max} = 3.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

b) The equation of equilibrium for the truck is:

18,000\,N - F = (2,300\,kg)\cdot (3.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}})

The force of the SUV's bumper on the truck's bumper is:

F = 9260\,N

A ball is thrown vertically upward. As it rises, what happens to its total energy?.
diamong [38]

The total energy of a ball stays constant as it is thrown upward because potential energy increases while kinetic energy decreases. When the ball reaches its maximum height, the velocity is zero. Therefore, only potential energy exists rather than kinetic energy.

The thrower's movement imparts kinetic energy to a ball thrown vertically. The maximum height that can be achieved after leaving the hand will depend on the actual velocity. Air resistance causes some of this energy to be lost to the air as frictional dissipation, which warms the air in the area as well as the ball's surface.

We can just talk about how the ball moves when it is in the gravitational field of the Earth if we ignore this for the purposes of this discussion. The ball's total energy as it is released is comprised of both its gravitational potential energy and its kinetic energy, which result from the ball's velocity (due to its position).

The gravitational potential energy begins to rise as the ball moves vertically upward at precisely the same pace as it loses kinetic energy. The ball experiences a steady downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2, which causes it to initially decline until it briefly comes to a stop at its highest point.

Due to its current position in the Earth's gravitational field relative to its initial position, all of the energy at this point is gravitational potential energy. As the ball experiences constant downward acceleration, its motion immediately becomes apparent in that direction because the acceleration easily transforms gravitational potential energy back into kinetic energy.

As a result, at every point along the trajectory, the total of these interchangeable forms of energy remains constant.

John runs around a 126.5 m circular track 3.5 times in 4.17 minutes. What is his average speed?
sdas [7]
Average speed = distance traveled / time

average speed  = (126.5 m * 3.5 laps) / (4.17 min)

= 106.2 m/min

A pendulum makes 60 vibrations in 15 secs what’s its frequency
o-na [289]

Answer:

4 hertz

Explanation:

The defination of freqyency = the total no of cycle made by a wave in one second .

so,

cycle or vibrations=60

tame taken = 15

now,

frequency = no. of cycle / time taken

= 60/15

=4 hertz

hence, the its frequency = 4hertz

A musical note has a frequency of 512 Hz. If the wavelength of the note is 0.685 m, what is the speed of the sound of that note?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

350.72 m/s

Explanation:

Formula for velocity of wave is;

v = fλ

Where;

v is speed

f is frequency

λ is wavelength

We are given;

f = 512 Hz

λ = 0.685 m

Thus;

v = 512 × 0.685

v = 350.72 m/s
