To calculate the acceleration of the truck, we use the equation of motion

v = u + at

Here, v is final velocity of the truck, u is initial velocity of truck, a is acceleration of the truck and t is time taken.

Given,  u = 6 m/s, v = 14 m/s and t = 4 s.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

14 \ m/s = 6 \ m/s + a \times 4 \ s \\\\  a = \frac{14 \ m/s - 6 \ m/s}{ 4 \ s } =  2 \ m /s^2.

Thus,  the truck acceleration is 2 \ m /s^2

Calculate the potential difference across a 25- resistor if a 0.3-A current is flowing through it.
alekssr [168]

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

Voltage = (0.3 A) x (25 ohms)

Voltage = (0.3 x 25) (A-Ω)

<em>Voltage = 7.5 volts</em>

When a force is acting at axis of rotation,why torque is zero?
Vikki [24]

Explanation:

see, torque=force × perpendicular distance

...that perpendicular distance is between axis of rotation and the point where force acts... so in above's case perpendicular distance is zero... so the torque is zero!

Suppose that you have been chosen for a space mission to a distant planet. Due to the length of time you'll be away from Earth y
Contact [7]

Answer:

I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

Explanation:

Since time dilates in moving objects, we use the formula t = t₀/√(1 - β²) where t = time in space vehicle, t₀ = time on earth = 9 hours and β = v/c where v = speed of space vehicle = 0.8c.

So, t = t₀/√(1 - β²)

t = 9/√(1 - (v/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8c/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.64)

= 9/√0.36

= 9/0.6

= 15 hr

So, according to a timer on the space vehicle, I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.
