From the Newton’s First Law, we can see that acceleration is simply the ratio of Force over mass. In this case, mass is the sum of the mass of each car, that is:

mass = 2300 kg + 2500 kg = 4800 kg

 

So the formula is:

acceleration = Force / mass

acceleration = 18,000 N / 4800 kg

acceleration = 3.75 m/s^2

 

In 2 significant figures:

<span>acceleration = 3.8 m/s^2</span>

The maximum possible acceleration the truck can give the SUV is about 3.8 m/s²

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

\boxed {F = ma }

F = Force ( Newton )

m = Object's Mass ( kg )

a = Acceleration ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of truck = m = 2300 kg

mass of SUV = M = 2500 kg

maximum forward force = F = 18 000 N

<u>Asked:</u>

maximum possible acceleration = a = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

We will use Newton's second law of motion to solve this problem :

\Sigma F = ( m + M )a

F = ( m + M ) a

a = F \div ( m + M )

a = 18000 \div ( 2300 + 2500 )

a = 18000 \div 4800

a \approx 3.8 \texttt{ m/s}^2

Before using a string in a comparison, you can use either the To Upper method or the To Lower method to convert the string to up
diamong [38]

Answer:

True, check attachment for code

Explanation:

To convert java strings of text to upper or lower case, we can use and inbuilt methods To Uppercase and To lower case.

The first two lines of code will set up a String variable to hold the text "text to change", and then we print it out.

The third line sets of a second String variable called result.

The fourth line is where the conversion is done.

We can compare the string

We can compare one string to another. (When comparing, Java will use the hexadecimal values rather than the letters themselves.) For example, if we wanted to compare the word "Fat" with the word "App" to see which should come first, you can use an inbuilt string method called compareTo.

The heating element of a water heater in an apartment building has a maximum power output of 37 kW. Four residents of the buildi
kkurt [141]

Answer:

maximum possible temperature is 34.088°C

Explanation:

Given data

power output Q = 37 kW

volume flow rate = 11 x 10^-5 m3/s

temperature t = 14°C

to find out

maximum possible temperature T

solution

we can say

total water volume  = 4 residents  × volume flow

total water volume = 4 × 11 x 10^-5  = 44 × 10^-5 m³/s

so we say total water mass = 1000 × volume

total water mass = 1000 kg/m³ ×  44 × 10^-5  

total water mass = 0.44 kg

we know

dQ/dt = (dm/dt)× (S)× ( T - t)

so here we know specific heat of water S = 4.186 joule/gram °C

37 = 0.44 × 4.186 × (T-14)

T = 34.088°C

maximum possible temperature is 34.088°C

A scientist counts the number of bacteria colonies growing in each of six lab dishes.
Vsevolod [243]

Hi!

The correct answer is: C. It is the data value that appears the most often in the set.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The mode of a set of values is the number which is the most frequently appearing, or most repeating value in the range. The numbers that show one time each are

A - 16 , C - 25 , D - 3

While 13 appears three times with the dishes labelled

B , E and F

So, the value that appears the most times is 13, and hence 13 is taken as the mode of this data set

<h3>Hope this helps!</h3>

A student lists a set of materials
alexdok [17]

Answer:

D. wood, hydrogen gas, milk, and water

Explanation:

Waves will transmit through wood, hydrogen gas, milk and water.

Waves are disturbances that propagates energy usually through a material medium.

Most mechanical waves pass through the given medium. Only electromagnetic waves do not really require a material medium for their propagation. They can be propagated through a vacuum.
