A box rests on top of a flat bed truck. The box has a mass of m = 16.0 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the box an
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1) 1.31 m/s2

2) 20.92 N

3) 8.53 m/s2

4) 1.76 m/s2

5) -8.53 m/s2

Explanation:

1) As the box does not slide, the acceleration of the box (relative to ground) is the same as acceleration of the truck, which goes from 0 to 17m/s in 13 s

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{17 - 0}{13} = 1.31 m/s2

2)According to Newton 2nd law, the static frictional force that acting on the box (so it goes along with the truck), is the product of its mass and acceleration

F_s = am = 1.31*16 = 20.92 N

3) Let g = 9.81 m/s2. The maximum static friction that can hold the box is the product of its static coefficient and the normal force.

F_{\mu_s} = \mu_sN = mg\mu_s = 16*9.81*0.87 = 136.6N

So the maximum acceleration on the block is

a_{max} = F_{\mu_s} / m = 136.6 / 16 = 8.53 m/s^2

4)As the box slides, it is now subjected to kinetic friction, which is

F_{\mu_s} = mg\mu_k = 16*9.81*0.69 = 108.3 N

So if the acceleration of the truck it at the point where the box starts to slide, the force that acting on it must be at 136.6 N too. So the horizontal net force would be 136.6 - 108.3 = 28.25N. And the acceleration is

28.25 / 16 = 1.76 m/s2

5) Same as number 3), the maximum deceleration the truck can have without the box sliding is -8.53 m/s2

A brother and sister are standing next to each other at rest on a surface of frictionless ice. The brother’s mass is exactly twi
a_sh-v [17]

The sister suddenly pushes her brother. As a result, the sister moves with kinetic energy k. The resulting kinetic energy of the brother is k/2.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The ability of an object to do work by virtue of its motion is called the kinetic energy.

A brother and sister are standing next to each other at rest on a surface of frictionless ice. The brother’s mass is exactly twice that of his sister’s.

If the sister's mass is m, the brother's mass is 2m.

The kinetic energy of sister is k =1/2 mv²,

The velocity will also get halved for brother, So, the kinetic energy of brother will be

k' = 1/2 (2m)(v/2)²

On comparing, the relation between the kinetic energy of brother and sister is k' = k/2

Thus, the resulting kinetic energy of the brother is k/2.

The angle between the axes of two polarizing filters is 45.0^\circ45.0 ​∘ ​​ . By how much does the second filter reduce the int
suter [353]

Answer

given,                                                                      

angle between two polarizing filters = 45°

filter reduce intensity = ?                          

a) I = I₀ Cos² θ                                

here θ = 45⁰                                

I = \dfrac{I_0}{2}                      

intensity of the light is reduced by 0.500

correct answer from the given option D

b) direction of the polarization                    

                        θ = 45°

A physicist found that a force of 1.32 N was measured between two charged spheres. The distance between the spheres was 95 cm. C
labwork [276]

The electric force (and the gravitational force too) is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects involved.

In this question, the distance is increased by a factor of  (1.25/0.95) .

So the electric force will change by the factor of  (0.95/1.25)² .

The new force is

           (1.32 N) · (0.95/1.25)²  =  0.762... newton   (rounded)
