a) normal force
b) force of gravity
c) force of friction between the crate and the floor of the truck
d) the "ma" force
e) none of these

Answer: Option C

Explanation: Let's analyze each possible force:

A)normal force, it pushes in the direction in which the box has contact with some surface, in this case, is in the bottom of the truck, so this force pushes upwards.

B) Force of gravity always pushes downwards, so it can not accelerate the box in the same direction in which the truck is moving.

c) The force of friction points in the opposite direction in which the box would move, if the truck moves to the right, the box will move to the left, so the friction pushes also to the right, which is the same direction in which the truck is moving.

D) there is nothing called the "ma" force.

Now, the correct option would be C; the force of friction (the statical one, because we know that the box does not move)

"Force of friction between the crate and the floor of the truck" is the one force among the choices given in the question that <span>causes the crate to accelerate forward. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "c". I hope the answer helps you.</span>

Answer:

The direction of the B-field is in the +y-direction.

Explanation:

The corresponding formula is

F_B = qv\times B

This means, we should use right-hand rule.

Our index finger is pointed towards +x-direction (direction of velocity),

our middle finger should point towards the direction of the B-field,

and our thumb should point towards the +z-direction (direction of the force).

Since our middle finger in this situation points towards +y-direction, the B-field should be in +y-direction.

\^{x} \times \^{y} = \^{z}

Which Of The Following Statements Are True?
aksik [14]

Answer:

A) The north pole of a bar magnet will attract the south pole of another bar magnet.

B) Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole.

E) The south poles of two bar magnets will repel each other.

Explanation:

<u>According to </u><u>classical physics</u>, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This means that if we break a magnet in half, we will have two magnets, where each new magnet will have a new south pole, and a new north pole.

This is because <u>for classical physics, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist. </u>

In this context,  Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.  

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet.  

Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.  

And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).
