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:

$F = 9260\,N$

Sawyer launches his 180 kg raft on the Mississippi River by pushing on it with a force of 75N. How long must Sawyer push on the

Daniel [21]

Answer: 4.8 s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m=180 kg$ the mass of the raft

$F=75 N$ the force applied by Sawyer

$V=2 m/s$ the raft's final speed

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)

We have to find the time $t$

Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:

$F=m.a$ (1)

Where $a$ is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:

$a=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}=\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}}$ (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

$F=m\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}}$ (3)

Where $t_{o}=0$

Isolating $t$ from (3):

$t=\frac{m(V-V_{o})}{F}$ (4)

$t=\frac{180 kg(2 m/s-0 m/s)}{75 N}$

Finally:

$t=4.8 s$

Scientists can use the location and depth of where a fossil is found to estimate the age of the fossil. To do this, they use

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

C the Law of Superposition

Explanation:

Basically the law of Superposition is applied in this regard. The law states that "the oldest layer is on the bottom and the youngest layer is on top".

When we find fossils at a particular depth we can relatively date a rock based on the strata we find them. A fossil in place in bottom beds will be older than the one in the topmost layer. Fossils also succeed one another in a definite pattern according to the principle of fossil and fauna succession.

-What can you say about the snowboarder’s kinetic energy as he moves?

Damm [24]

Answer:

His kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases

The sum of kinetic and potential energy is a constant at any instant before he comes to rest.

Explanation:

Snowboarder is starting from a height and moving to the down direction. As he moves down his velocity increases, we know that kinetic energy is given by the expression $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ , so as he moves his kinetic energy increases.

When the snowboarder is starting his potential energy is maximum(Potential energy = mgh), as he comes down his potential energy decreases.

Based on this we can conclude that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is a constant at any instant for a snowboarder before he comes to rest.

mgh+ $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ = Constant

Physics question i appreciate your help please

den301095 [7]

Solution: From the given question, we shall find the vector quantity among the

(A) Time , (B) Velocity, (C) Distance , (D) Speed

Concept: <u>Vector Quantity: </u>All those physical quantities which have magnitude as well as specific directions, are called Vector Quantities.

Here, Time, Distance and Speed have only magnitude but have no directions so they will be scalar quantities.

Now, <u>Velocity:</u> It is defined as the change in displacement per unit time. Since the change in the displacement will be in particular direction only. Hence, velocity will be the vector quantity.

Hence, the option (B) Velocity will be the correct option.
