A box rests on the (horizontal) back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface on which it

rests is 0.24. What maximum distance can the truck travel (starting from rest and moving horizontally with constant acceleration) in 3.0 s without having the box slide?

Answer:

The distance is 11 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Friction coefficient = 0.24

Time = 3.0 s

Initial velocity = 0

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's second law

F = ma...(I)

Using formula of friction force

F= \mu m g....(II)

Put the value of F in the equation (II) from equation (I)

ma=\mu mg....(III)

a = \mu g

Put the value in the equation (III)

a=0.24\times9.8

a=2.352\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the distance,

Using equation of motion

s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}2.352\times(3.0)^2

s=10.584\ m\ approx\ 11\ m

Hence, The distance is 11 m.

Higher mass protostars enter the main sequence: at the same rate, but at a higher luminosity and temperature. slower and at a lo
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

<em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

Explanation:

A protostar looks like a star but its core is not yet hot enough for fusion to take place. The luminosity comes exclusively from the heating of the protostar as it contracts. Protostars are usually surrounded by dust, which blocks the light that they emit, so they are difficult to observe in the visible spectrum.

A protostar becomes a main sequence star when its core temperature exceeds 10 million K. This is the temperature needed for hydrogen fusion to operate efficiently.

Stars above about 200 solar masses (Higher mass) generate power so furiously that gravity cannot contain their internal pressure. These stars blow themselves apart and do not exist for long if at all. A protostar with less than 0.08 solar masses never reaches the 10 million K temperature needed for efficient hydrogen fusion. These result in “failed stars” called brown dwarfs which radiate mainly in the infrared and look deep red in color. They are very dim and difficult to detect, but there might be many of them, and in fact they might outnumber other stars in the universe.

That is why higher mass protostars enter the main sequence at a <em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

mash [69]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a star has reached the main sequence stage, hydrogen is converted into helium by nuclear fusion, . Also, the gravity and pressure are balanced because the star does not radiate more heat than it generates. A star usually spends most of its lifetime at this stage.

The Zero Age Main Sequence is the period during the main sequence when a star stops contracting, and begin to fuse hydrogen in its core.

Water is flowing in a pipe with a circular cross section but with varying cross-sectional area, and at all points the water comp
slamgirl [31]

(a) 5.66 m/s

The flow rate of the water in the pipe is given by

Q=Av

where

Q is the flow rate

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the water

Here we have

Q=1.20 m^3/s

the radius of the pipe is

r = 0.260 m

So the cross-sectional area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.260 m)^2=0.212 m^2

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the water:

v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1.20 m^3/s}{0.212 m^2}=5.66 m/s

(b) 0.326 m

The flow rate along the pipe is conserved, so we can write:

Q_1 = Q_2\\A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2

where we have

A_1 = 0.212 m^2\\v_1 = 5.66 m/s\\v_2 = 3.60 m/s

and where A_2 is the cross-sectional area of the pipe at the second point.

Solving for A2,

A_2 = \frac{A_1 v_1}{v_2}=\frac{(0.212 m^2)(5.66 m/s)}{3.60 m/s}=0.333 m^2

And finally we can find the radius of the pipe at that point:

A_2 = \pi r_2^2\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{A_2}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.333 m^2}{\pi}}=0.326 m
