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.

Change in v= 9.8 m/s2xt. The diagram shows a ball falling toward Earth in<br> a vacuum.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Option A. 39.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 4 s

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

Since the initial velocity (u) is 0, the above equation becomes:

v = gt

Thus, inputting the value of g and t, we can obtain the value of v as shown below:

v = 9.8 × 4

v = 39.2 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ball at 4 s is 39.2 m/s.

What is the efficiency of a machine?​
Julli [10]

Answer:

Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work).

Explanation:

It is a measure of how well a machine reduces friction.

A cat runs and jumps from one roof top to another which is 5 m away and 3 m below. Calculate the minimum horizontal speed with w
icang [17]
ThIs is the same type of problem
find out the time value
3 = 1/2*a*T^2
6/10 = t^2
t = 0.77 seconds
and the distance is given 5 m
thus speed ,= distance/time
speed = 5/0.77
= 6.45 m/s

An electric wheel chair is designed to run on a single 12-V battery rated to provide 100 ampere-hours. How much energy is stored
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the battery, V = 12 V

Current, I = 100 ampere-hours

Energy stored is given by the product of power and time taken. So,

E=P\times t

P is the power, P=V\times I

P=12\times 100

P = 1200 watts

This power can be used for 1 hour or 3600 seconds

Energy, E=1200\times 3600

E = 4320000 J

So, the energy stored in this battery is 4320000 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
