Answer:

The correct option is;

A. honk your horn if you cannot see at least 200 ft ahead

Explanation:

According the California Driver Handbook on Safe Driving Practices, it is required of the driver driving on a narrow mountain road without clear visualization of what is 200 ft ahead of her or him to honk the horn of the vehicle.

The sounding of the horn will alert those ahead of the driver of the possible danger due to her or his oncoming vehicle so that they (those ahead of the driver's oncoming vehicle) can react appropriately.

A warehouse worker is pushing a 90.0-kg crate with a horizontal force of 282 N at a speed of v = 0.850 m/s across the warehouse
Elanso [62]

Answer:

v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law at the crate :

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data:

m=90kg :  crate mass

F= 282 N

μk =0.351 :coefficient of kinetic friction

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Crate weight  (W)

W= m*g

W= 90kg*9.8 m/s²

W= 882 N

Friction force : Ff

Ff= μk*N Formula (2)   

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

N : Normal force (N)  

Problem development

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    , ay=0

N-W = 0

N = W

N = 882 N

We replace the  data in the formula (2)

Ff= μk*N  = 0.351* 882 N

Ff=  309.58 N

We apply the formula (1) in x direction:

∑Fx = m*ax    , ax=0

282 N - 309.58 N = 90*a  

a=  (282 N - 309.58 N ) / (90)

a= - 0.306 m/s²

Kinematics of the crate

Because the crate moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (3)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 0.850 m/s

d = 0.75 m

a= - 0.306 m/s²

We replace the  data in the formula (3)

vf²=(0.850)²+(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )

v_{f} = \sqrt{(0.850)^{2} +(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )}

v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}

-4.3 light years what is the value of the 3??​
Radda [10]

Answer:

A light-year is a unit of distance. It is the distance that light can travel in one year. Light moves at a velocity of about 300,000 kilometers (km) each second. So in one year, it can travel about 10 trillion km. More p recisely, one light-year is equal to 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

F_s = \mu N

where \mu is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force F_p at an angle \theta, the normal force on the block becomes

N  = Mg- F_psin(\theta)

and hence the frictional force becomes

F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta)).

Now, as we increase \theta, sin(\theta) increases which as a result decreases the normal force Mg- F_psin(\theta), which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em>W=mg<em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>

Plz Help me with this
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Cools ; size

Explanation:

The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the crystals in the new rock. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma which finds its way to the surface or depth of very low pressure beneath the surface. This place or depth of cooling of magma affects the cooling rate and hence the size of the crystals formed. Igneous rocks formed at depths below the surface have more time to cool and allows more time for Crystal growth and hence produce coarse grained crystal grains called Intrusive igneous rocks which have significantly larger crystals than those formed on the surface which cools rapidly and allowing very little time for crystal growth giving rise to the formation of fine grained crystals and are called extrusive igneous rocks.

If the force applied to an object is not greater than the starting friction, what will happen to the object?
bonufazy [111]
