A truck accelerates from a stop to 27m/sec in 9 minutes. What was the trucks acceleration?

1 answer:

6 0

Vi = 0 m/s
Vf = 27 m/s
t = 9 min = 540 s
1 min = 60 s
9 min = 540 s
a = ? m/s^2.

vf = vi + at
27 = 0 + 540a
27 = 540a
27/540 = 540a/540
27/540 = a
0.05 = a.

The truck's acceleration was 0.05 m/s^2.

The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 °F. After it passes through the radiato

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:571.09 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of cooling water from engine exit $=240^{\circ} F\approx 115.55^{\circ}C$

After Passing through the radiator its temperature decreases to $175^{\circ}F\approx 79.44^{\circ}F$

specific heat of water $=4.184 J/g^{\circ}C$

Volume of water $= 1 gallon\approx 3.78 L$

density of water $\rho =1 gm/mL$

Thus mass of water $=\rho \times V=3.78\times 1=3.78 kg$

Heat transferred to the surrounding is equal to heat absorbed by cooling water

$Q=m\cdot c\cdot \Delta T$

$Q=3.78\times 4.184\times 1000\times (115.55-79.44)$

$Q=3.78\times 4.184\times 1000\times (36.11)$

$Q=571.09 kJ$

Plz help with these 4

Airida [17]

Answer:

1) The human skeleton performs six major functions: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals, and endocrine regulation. protection of internal organs

2) Joints are where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible — without them, movement would be impossible. Joints allow our bodies to move in many ways.

3)A joint is a point where two or more bones meet. There are three main types of joints; Fibrous (immovable), Cartilaginous (partially moveable) and the Synovial (freely moveable) joint

4)A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.

The speed at which an object falls and the acceleration at which it falls are

allochka39001 [22]

No, the speed at which an object falls is not equal to the acceleration at which it falls.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Speed is defined as how fast an object can cover a specific distance and in what time it covers. So it is measured as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, speed is a scalar quantity and acceleration is a vector quantity. So most of the times, the direction will play an important role in the varying values of speed and acceleration. Also, acceleration of an object will depend upon the force and mass of the object. Thus, speed and acceleration will not attain same value always.

A refrigerator is 1.8m tall, lm wide,and 0.8m deep.The center of mass is lm from the bottom, 0.5m from the side, and 0.6m from t

VikaD [51]

Answer:

F = 520 N

Explanation:

For this exercise the rotational equilibrium equation should be used

Σ τ = 0

Let's set a reference system with the origin at the back of the refrigerator and the counterclockwise rotation as positive. On the x-axis it is horizontal directed outward, eg the horizontal y-axis directed to the side and the z-axis vertical

Torque is

τ = F x r

the bold indicate vectors, we analyze each force

the applied force is horizontal along the -x axis, the arm (perpendicular distance) is directed in the z axis,

The weight of the body is the vertical direction of the z-axis, so the arm is on the x-axis

-F z + W x = 0

F z = W x

F = $\frac{x}{z}$ W

The exercise indicates the point of application of the force z = 1.5 m and the weight is placed in the center of mass of the body x = 0.6 m, we are assuming that the force is applied in the wide center of the refrigerator

let's calculate

F = 1300 0.6 / 1.5

F = 520 N
