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

elena-s [515]

Answer:

the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters

Explanation:

The computation of the horizontal distance while travelling in the air is shown below:

Data provided in the question is as follows

Velocity = u = 7.70 m/s

H = 1.60 m

R = horizontal direction

Based on the above information

As we know that

R = u × time

where,

Time = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

So,

= 7.70\times \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.60}{10} }

= 4.355 meters

hence, the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters

Two identical stones, A and B, are thrown from a cliff from the same height and with the same initial speed. Stone A is thrown v
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

This can be explained based on the conservation of energy.

The total mechanical energy of the system remain constant in the absence of any external force. Also, the total mechanical energy of the system is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy associated with the system.

In case of two stones thrown from a cliff one vertically downwards the other vertically upwards, the overall gravitational potential energy remain same for the two stones as the displacement of the stones is same.

Therefore the kinetic energy and hence the speed of the two stones should also be same in order for the mechanical energy to remain conserved.

Solve 3* +5-220t = 0​
slega [8]

Answer:

t = 27.5

Explanation:

3 + 5 -220t = 0

Well to solve for t we need to combine like terms and seperate t.

So 3+5= 8

8 - 220t = 0

We do +220 to both sides

8 = 220t

And now we divide 220 by 8 which is 27.5

Hence, t = 27.5

What is the net displacement of the particle between 0 seconds and 80seconds?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Displacement of a particle on a velocity time graph is represented by the area between the line representing velocity and x-axis (time).

Displacement of a particle from t = 0 o t = 40 seconds = Area of ΔAOB

Area of triangle AOB = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{height})

                                   = \frac{1}{2}(40)(4)

                                   = 80 m

Similarly, displacement of the particle from t = 40 to t = 80 seconds = Area of ΔBCD

Area of ΔBCD = \frac{1}{2}(40)(4)

                        = 80 m

Total displacement of the particle from t = 0 to t = 80 seconds,

= 80 + 80

= 160 m

Option (A) will be the answer.
