A 2300 kg truck has put its front bumper against the rear bumper of a 2400 kg SUV to give it a push. With the engine at full pow

er and good tires on good pavement, the maximum forward force on the truck is 18,000 N.What is the maximum possible acceleration the truck can give the SUV?

Answer:

3.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 2300 + 2400 = 4700 kg is the total mass of the truck+the SUV

F = 18,000 N is the force exerted by the engine (that must be used to accelerate both the truck and the SUV)

Therefore, the acceleration on the truck-SUV system is

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{18,000}{4700}=3.8 m/s^2

A 2kg mass is suspended on a rope that wraps around a frictionless pulley attached to the ceiling with a mass of 0.01kg and a ra
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The torque on the pulley, when the system is motionless is approximately 9.81 N·m

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the object = 2 kg

The friction between the rope and the pulley = 0

The mass of the rope, m_r = 0.5 kg

The mass of the pulley, m_p = 0.01 kg

The radius of the pulley, r = 0.25 m

The torque on the pulley, τ = I·α = F × D

The torque on the pulley, when the system is motionless, τ = F × D

Where;

F = The force acting on the pulley rope = The weight of the mass ≈ 2 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 19.62 N

D = The diameter of the pulley = 2×r = 2 × 0.25 m = 0.5 m

Therefore;

τ = 19.62 N × 0.5 m = 9.81 N·m

The torque on the pulley, when the system is motionless, τ ≈ 9.81 N·m.

Why are some animals and plants can become pests when introduced into Australia
Yanka [14]
<span>Plants there are a lot. Australian plants are extremely hardy an have adapted to grow in conditions others have not. So when taken outside of Australia they do very, very well. Animals, less so. But there are a few very interesting cases.
