A box accidentally drops from a truck traveling at a speed of 20.0 m/s and slides along the ground for a distance of 30.0 m Calc

ulate a) The acceleration of the box (assuming it is constant while sliding)
Physics

Hoochie [10]3 years ago

Answer:

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

The initial speed of the box ,u= 20 m/s

The final speed of the box ,v=  0 m/s

The distance cover by box ,s= 30 m

Lets take the acceleration of the box = a

We know that

v²= u ² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

0²=20² + 2 a x 30

a=- \dfrac{20^2}{2\times 30} \ m/s^2

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Negative sign indicates that velocity and acceleration are in opposite direction.

Therefore the acceleration of the box will be  - 6.667 m/s² .

.

the quality of a sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it; the degree of highness or lowness of a tone.

.

If the amplitude increases the volume increases and vice versa.

.

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.

.

The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.

The kinetic energy of a sliding block came from the:
patriot [66]

Answer:

Correct sentence: gravitational potential energy of the mass on the hook.

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of a body or a physical system is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy. It is a scalar magnitude related to the movement of bodies and to forces of mechanical origin, such as gravitational force and elastic force, whose main exponent is Hooke's Law. Both are conservative forces. The mechanical energy associated with the movement of a body is kinetic energy, which depends on its mass and speed. On the other hand, the mechanical energy of potential origin or potential energy, has its origin in the conservative forces, comes from the work done by them and depends on their mass and position. The principle of conservation of energy relates both energies and expresses that the sum of both energies, the potential energy and the kinetic energy of a body or a physical system, remains constant. This sum is known as the mechanical energy of the body or physical system.

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the block comes from the transformation in this of the gravitational potential energy of the suspended mass as it loses height with respect to the earth, keeping the mechanical energy of the system constant.

Two liquids, A and B, have equal masses and equal initial temperatures. Each is heated for the same length of time over identica
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.

Explanation:

Liquid A is hotter than the liquid B after both the liquids are heated identically for the same duration of time from the same initial temperature then according to heat equation,

Q=m.c.\Delta T

where:

m = mass of the body

c = specific heat of the body

\Delta T= change in temperature of the body

The identical heat source supplies the heat for the same amount of time then the quantity of heat supplied is also equal.

So for constant heat, constant mass the temperature change is inversely proportional to the specific of heat of the liquid.

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m} \times \frac{1}{c}

\Delta T\propto\frac{1}{c}

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.
