Here is the situation: A puck is resting on the floor of a large moving van. Assume that the floor of the van is frictionless. T

he van and the puck are initially at rest, then the van undergoes a positive uniform acceleration. Determine whether each statement below is:a. True b. False.

Answer:

Statement 1: Someone outside the van sees the puck remain stationary with respect to the ground.

TRUE. This is because the puck relative to the ground initially was stationary. When the van starts to move forward or accelerate, the puck will tend to maintain its stationary state with the ground by moving in the opposite direction. This movement is only relative to the van and not the ground because the puck and the ground are at rest as the puck has no net force acting on it.

Someone in the van sees the puck move toward the front of the van.

FALSE. The puck has no net force acting in it so by newton's first law it should have no relative movement to the ground. In order to achieve this, the puck by newton's third law of motion must move in the opposite direction (backwards) as the van to maintain its stationary state with the ground.

The acceleration of the van with respect to the ground is > the acceleration of the puck with respect to the ground.

If the van turns to the right, the puck will hit the left wall.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE STATEMENTS? I'll assume the truck continues in a straight line and this statement if irrelevant. It does say "If"

The magnitude of the acceleration of the van with respect to the ground is = the magnitude of the puck's acceleration with respect to the van.

The puck is stationary with respect to the van during this acceleration.

FALSE

National Instant Criminal Background Check System is used for a person trying to access a government website.
Paladinen [302]

The given statement "National Instant Criminal Background Check System is used for a person trying to access a government website" is false.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, additionally referred to as NICS, is meant to spot individuals prohibited underneath federal law from getting firearms from a licence dealer. However, there area unit several loopholes within the system.

This modification higher permits the news of the identities of prohibited individuals to the background check system and could be a important step toward up the public’s safety whereas continued  to powerfully shield individuals’ privacy interests.

An 800 N box is pushed across a level floor for a distance of 5.0 m with a force of 400 N. How much work was done on this box.
AveGali [126]

Answer: 2000 J.

Explanation: Since work is force*displacement, we just have to multiply the force by the distance: w = f*d = 400 N*5.0 m = 2000 J.

When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some poi
eimsori [14]

Answer: The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, but F_g  remains the same.

Explanation:

The situation is same as when a book is pushed with an increasing force on a table; When the force is low, book doesn't move, until that under a given force starts moving, and then it goes on movement even if the force decreases a bit.

The physical explanation for this, that friction force adopts any value needed to avoid to move the object, till a limit value is achieved, called static friction force, equal to the normal force times the static friction coefficient.

Once in movement, the kinetic friction coefficient replaces the static one , and  in general is lower than the static one, so the force diminishes.

In the case of the box sliding down the board, the force that tries to move the object down the board, is the component of the weight parallel to the board, that can be showed that being equal to the weight times the sinus of the angle of the board with the horizontal, as follows:

F_g = m g sin θ

When θ increases, F_g does the same, so friction force always has the same magnitude than F_g (but opposite direction) so the box doesn't move, till that θ takes a value that produces a F_g equal to static friction force.

Beyond this limit angle, F_g (remaining the same for a given angle) is greater than the kinetic friction force, and the box slides.

In the limit, when θ=90º, sin θ =1⇒ F_g = mg, so the object is in free fall.

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.
Mariulka [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

The matter does not move in solid state but vibrates.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The atoms inside the matter cannot move or shift their positions without any external force but makes some small vibration movements. Generally in solids, the particles are bound by the attractive forces acting in between the atoms inside the matter.

The small vibrations that are happening inside the matter are because of the external factors like temperature. The increase in temperature raises the kinetic energy of the atoms inside and makes them move faster and this results in the vibration of the matter.
