Answer:
The work done by the gravel to stop the truck is 520.44 kJ
Explanation:
<u>Step 1</u>: Data given
Mass of the truck = 3047.8 kg
The ramp has an angle of 9.5 °
Velocity of the truck = 20.68 m/s
distance = 26.6 meters
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate initial kinetic energy
sin 9.5° = 0.165
h = ℓ*sin 9.5° = 26.6*0.165= 4.39 m
Ek = 1/2m*Vo² = 1/2*3047.8*20.68² = 651714.7 Joule = 651.7 kJ = initial kinetic energy
<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate potential energy
Epot = U = m*g*h = 3047.8*9.81*4.39 = 131256.25 Joule = 131.26 kJ
<u>Step 4:</u> What work is done by the truck on the gravel?
Frictional energy Ef = 651.7 kJ - 131.26 kJ = 520.44 kJ
Answer: Physical changes in nature could then be erosion in a mountain, the melting of snow, and a river freezing over from the cold. Since none of these changes affect the chemical composition of the mountain, the snow, or the river, they are physical changes.
Explanation:
According to Newton (2nd law), Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Substitute what we know : Force = (1,000 kg) x (3 m/s²)
Do the arithmetic: Force = 3,000 kg-m/s² = 3,000 newtons
The continuous submarine mountain range which winds through all the oceans is called the mid-ocean <u>ridge.
</u>It is a form of a mountain which is found underwater, and it appeared there due to the movements of tectonic plates. It is responsible for the creation of new seafloor, meaning that the ground underwater changes constantly with the formation of these ridges. <u>
