75.25 m is the least distance in which the truck can stop and ensure that the box does not slide.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Friction force can withstand the relative movement of hard surfaces, layers of fluids, and material element that slide relative to each other. Dry friction is one type that counteracts the relative lateral movement of two hard surfaces in contact. The equation is given by

                f=\mu\ N --------> eq 1

Where,

f = friction force  

μ = coefficient of friction  

 N = normal force  

Given data:

The coefficient of friction μ  =  0.35

The speed of the truck,  u  =  81.8  k m / h r

after converting it into S.I. unit, u = \frac{81.8 \times 10^{3}}{3600} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} = 22.72 m/s

According to newtons second law of motion, the force applied to the truck is,

                  F = m a -----> eq 2

Where,

m = mass

a = acceleration due to gravity

The force balance equation for limiting condition is,

                              F = f

                          m a = μ N

Substitute N = m g, we get

          m \times a=\mu \times m \times g

         a=\mu \times g

The third law of motion is,

        v^{2}=u^{2}+2 a s

Here, the final velocity is  v .  Hence, the final velocity is zero so  v  =  0 .

By substituting the known values in the above equation, we get

   0^{2}=u^{2}+2(\mu \times g) s

   0^{2}=(22.72)^{2}+(2 \times 0.35 \times(-9.8) \times s)

   6.86 \times s = 516.198

   s=\frac{516.198}{6.86}=75.25\ \mathrm{m}

Acceleration toward the center of a curved path is called
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.

The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.

It is calculated through following formula

a=v^2/r

where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.

Two small stereo speakers are driven in step by the same variable-frequency oscillator. Their sound is picked up by a microphone
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The fundamental frequency at which the sound of speakers at the microphone produce constructive interference is 801.076458 Hz

Explanation:

For a given arrangement having constructive interference, we have;

R₁ - R₂ = 2·x = 0 + n·λ

The distance from one speaker to the microphone. R₁ = 4.50 m

The distance between the two speakers = 2.00 m

The angle formed between the direction from the microphone to the speaker closest and the directional path between the speakers = 90°

Therefore, by Pythagoras's theorem, the distance from the speaker furthest from the microphone, to the microphone, 'R₂' is given as follows;

R₂ = √(4.50² + 2.00²) = √(24.25) = 4.9244289009 ≈ 4.924

∴ R₂ ≈ 4.9244289 m

R₂ - R₁ = 4.9244289 m - 4.5 m = 0.4244289 m

For constructive interference, R₂ - R₁ =0.4244289 m = n·λ

For n = 1, we have;

R₂ - R₁ =0.4244289 m = n·λ = 1 × λ = λ

λ = 0.4244589 m

f = v/λ = 340 m/sec/(0.4244289 m) ≈ 801.076458 Hz

Therefore the lowest possible fundamental frequency at which the speakers produce constructive interference, f = 801.076458 Hz

The slope of a speed-time graph is the acceleration represented by the graph.

All other parts of this question refer to a lab experiment or exercise
where I was not present, but Zeesam16 was.  Therefore I have no data
with which to answer the rest of the question, and hope that Zeesam can
handle it.
