Using Newton's law that  F = ma.

The force here is the net force.  The forces acting in opposite direction are the weight and the air resistance. The weight of course is acting downwards and the air  resistance is pushing upwards.

Therefore:

W -  AR  = ma                    W = Weight = mg,  AR = Air Resistance = 150.
                                           g = 10 m/s2
mg  - AR  = ma

60(10) - 150 = 60a
600  -  150   = 60a
450 = 60a
60a = 450
a = 450/60
a = 7.5 m/s2

Cheers.

Answer:

The maximum speed that the truck can have and still be stopped by the 100m road is the speed that it can go and be stopped at exactly 100m. Since there is no friction, this problem is similar to a projectile problem. You can think of the problem as being a ball tossed into the air except here you know the highest point and you are looking for the initial velocity needed to reach that point. Also, in this problem, because there is an incline, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is not simply g; it is the component of gravity acting parallel to the incline. Since we are working parallel to the plane, also keep in mind that the highest point is given in the problem as 100m. Solving for the initial velocity needed to have the truck stop after 100m, you should find that the maximum velocity the truck can have and be stopped by the road is 18.5 m/s.

Which of the following account for the differences between radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays? Check all that apply
Ket [755]

Answer: A. Frequency

B. Wavelength

Explanation: Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum. Electromagnetic waves have electrical and magnetic component associated with them.

Electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of increasing frequencies or decreasing wavelengths.

Radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays are all electromagnetic waves which have different wavelengths and thus have different frequencies. But they all travel with the speed of light.

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

The order of frequency of given waves  : gamma rays > X rays> Radio waves.

The order of wavelength of given waves  : gamma rays < X rays < Radio waves.
