Answer:

w = 7.5 [J]

Explanation:

We must remember the definition of mechanical work, which tells us that work is equal to the product of force by distance. This force must be applied in the direction of movement. So we have the following equation:

w = F*d

where:

w = work [J]

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

Now replacing we have:

w = 5*1.5

w = 7.5 [J]

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

The maximum height attained is 460 m.

<h3>What is the maximum height?</h3>

We know that the final velocity of a body is 0 m/s at the maximum height which is the greatest height that is attained by the body. We now use the formula;

v^2 = u^2 -2gh

Given that v = 0 m/s

u^2 = 2gh

h = u^2/2g

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

h = maximin height

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = (95)^2/2 * 9.8

h = 460 m

A ball is dropped from a building of height h. Assume the ball starts from rest and that air friction can be ignored. Derive an
agasfer [191]

Answer:

t=\sqrt{h/g}

Explanation:

We use the kinematics equation to solve this question:

y(t)=y_{o}+v_{o}t+1/2*a*t^{2}

v_{o}=0    because the ball is dropped

a=-g         the acceleration is the gravity, negative because it points downwards

y_{o}=h     initial height

y(t)=h/2     final height

So:

h/2=h-1/2*g*t^{2}

t=\sqrt{h/g}
