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 hot copper pan is dropped into at tub of hot water. If the water's temperature rises, what happens to the temperature of the p
choli [55]

Explanation:

As it is given that hot pan of copper is dropped into a tub of hot water and the temperature of water rises. This means that heat from the pan has been released and this heat is gained by water.

As a result, temperature of copper pan has decreased and this decrease will continue till the time temperature of both copper pan and water will reach the same temperature.

As thermal energy is defined as the energy in which when two objects come in physical contact with each other then no exchange of heat energy will take place.

Thus, we can conclude that when temperature of both copper pan and water will be equal then it means that both of them has reached thermal equilibrium.

a concrete cube of side 0.50 m and uniform density 2.0 x 103 kg m–3 is lifted 3.0 m vertically by a crane. what is the change in
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Change in potential energy = 7350 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Side of cube, a = 0.5 m

Density of cube, d=2\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

The cube is lifted vertically by a crane to a height of 3 m

We know that, density d=\dfrac{m}{V}

So, m = d × V  (V = volume of cube = a³)

m=2\times 10^3\ kg/m^3\times (0.5\ m)^3

m = 250 kg

We have to find the change in potential energy of the cube. At ground level, the potential energy is equal to 0.

Potential energy at height h is given by :

PE=mgh

PE = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s² ×3 m

PE = 7350 Joules

So, change in potential energy of the cube is 7350 Joules.
