Electromagnetic waves are used in everyday life. You are looking at your computer screen right now. The light that is coming off of the screen is visible light, a form of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves are also used to send information. For example, AM or FM radios are radio waves that transfer sound information to your local radio.

A flatbed truck is supported by its four drive wheels, and is moving with an acceleration of 6.3 m/s2. For what value of the coe

Levart [38]

Answer:

Coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642

Explanation:

We have given acceleration $a=6.3m/sec^2$

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We have to find the coefficient of static friction between truck and a cabinet will

We know that acceleration is equal to $a=\mu g$ , here $\mu$ is coefficient of static friction and g is acceleration due to gravity

So $\mu =\frac{a}{g}=\frac{6.3}{9.8}=0.642$

So coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642

I was driving along at 20 m/s, trying to change a CD and not watching where I was going. When I looked up, I found myself 45 m f

Answer:

$a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

First we have to find the time required for train to travel 60 meters and impact the car, this is an uniform linear motion:

$t=\frac{d}{v}\\\\t=\frac{60m}{30\frac{m}{s}}=2s$

The reaction time of the driver before starting to accelerate was 0.50 seconds. So, remaining time for driver is 1.5 seconds.

Now, we have to calculate the distance traveled for the driver in this 0.5 seconds before he start to accelerate. Again, is an uniform linear motion:

$d=vt\\d=20\frac{m}{s}(0.5s)=10m$

The driver cover 10 meters in this 0.5 seconds. So, the remaining distance to be cover in 1.5 seconds by the driver are 35 meters. We calculate the minimum acceleration required by the car in order to cross the tracks before the train arrive, Since this is an uniformly accelerated motion, we use the following equation:

$d=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\a=\frac{2(d-v_0t)}{t^2}\\a=\frac{2(35m-20\frac{m}{s}*1.5s}{(1.5s)^2}\\a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}$

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.
