Answer:

Acceleration a ≤ 3 m/s^2

the greatest acceleration that the truck can have without losing its load is 3 m/s^2

Explanation:

For the truck to accelerate without losing its load.

Acceleration force of truck must be less than or equal to the maximum friction force between the truck bed and the load.

Fa ≤ F(friction)

But;

Fa = mass × acceleration

Fa = ma

ma ≤ F(friction)

a ≤ (F(friction))/m ......1

Given;

Fa = mass × acceleration

Fa = ma

mass m = 800 kg

F(friction) = 2400 N

Substituting the given values into equation 1;

a ≤ F(friction)/m

a ≤ 2400N/800kg

a ≤ 3 m/s^2

the greatest acceleration that the truck can have without losing its load is 3 m/s^2

sveta [45]

If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10 N, then object B will accelerate more quickly than object A provided the mass of both objects are same.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force applied on an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object. In order to state this law in terms of acceleration, it is stated that acceleration exhibited by any object is directly proportional to the net force applied on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object as shown below:

                      \text {Acceleration of the object } \propto \frac{\text {Net force on the object}}{\text {Mass of the object}}

So if two objects A and B are identical which means they have same mass, then the acceleration attained by the object will be directly proportionate to the net forces exerted on the objects only.

Thus if the force applied is more for one object, then the object will be exhibiting more acceleration compared to the other one. So as object B is experiencing a net force of 10 N which is greater than the net force experiences by object A, then the object B will be accelerating more quickly compared to the object A's acceleration.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

1. 18.25 m/s

2. 0 m/s

Explanation:

1.So the centripetal acceleration of the ball at this lowest point must be, taking gravity into account

a_c = \frac{T - mg}{m} = \frac{3mg - mg}{m} = 2g

The speed at this point would then be

v^2 = a_c r = 2gr = 2*9.8*17 = 333.2

v = \sqrt{333.2} = 18.25 m/s

2. Similarly, if T = mg, then the centripetal acceleration must be

a_c = \frac{T - mg}{m} = \frac{mg - mg}{m} = 0

As the ball has no centripetal acceleration, its speed must also be 0 as well.
