Answer: 1.d) The acceleration of an object is always less than the acceleration due to gravity, g (9.81m/s^-2)

2.a)acceleration decreases

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is defined by two variables which is the total force acting on the object and the mass of that object. The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force that is applied on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of that object.

When the force applied on an object is increased so does the acceleration of an object however if the mass increase the acceleration decreases.

This can be felt when you look at the truck which usually carry heavy loads they seem to drive slow due to the load hence their acceleration is decreased by the mass that these truck carry .

A transverse wave is traveling through a canal. If the distance between two successive crests is 3.17 m and four crests of the w

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

a. 0.18Hz

b. 0.56m/s

Explanation:

From the question we can deduct the following parameters

The wavelength, λ is define as the distance between two successful crest or trough and from the question we conclude that wavelength is 3.17m.

Also the period of the wave T can be computed as

T=22.6/4

T=5.65secs.

a. To compute the frequency, recall that frequency, F=1/period.

Hence,

F=1/5.65

F=0.18Hz

b. Next we compute the wave speed.

Wave speed=frequency *wavelength

Wave speed =0.18*3.17

Wave speed =0.56m/s

A certain kind of glass has an index of refraction of 1.640 for blue light of wavelength 440 nm and an index of 1.595 for red li

seraphim [82]

Answer: 18.27°

Explanation:

Given

Index of refraction of blue light, n(b) = 1.64

Wavelength of blue light, λ(b) = 440 nm

Index of refraction of red light, n(r) = 1.595

Wavelength of red light, λ(r) = 670 nm

Angle of incident, θ = 30°

Angle of refraction of red light is

θ(r) = sin^-1 [(n(a)* sin θ) / n(r)], where n(a) = index of refraction of air = 1

So that,

θ(r) = sin^-1 [(1 * sin 30) / 1.595]

θ(r) = sin^-1 (0.5 / 1.595)

θ(r) = sin^-1 0.3135

θ(r) = 18.27°

Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slid

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of load $m_{LS}$ = 10000 kg

mass of flat bed $m_{FB}$ = 20000 kg

initial speed of truck $v_{0}$ = 12 m/s

coefficient of friction between the load sits and flat bed μs = 0.5

A) the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.

Now, using the expression

Fs,max = μs $F_{N}$ -------------let this be equation 1

where $F_{N}$ = normal force = mg

Fs,max = μs mg

ma $_{max}$ = μs mg

divide through by mass

a $_{max}$ = μs g ---------- let this be equation 2

in equation 2, we substitute in our values

a $_{max}$ = 0.5 × 9.8 m/s²

a $_{max}$ = 4.9 m/s²

now, from the third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

$v_{f}$ ² = $v_{0}$ ² + 2aΔx

where $v_{f}$ is final velocity ( 0 m/s )

a is acceleration( - 4.9 m/s² )

so we substitute

(0)² = (12 m/s)² + 2(- 4.9 m/s² )Δx

0 = 144 m²/s² - 9.8 m/s²Δx

9.8 m/s²Δx = 144 m²/s²

Δx = 144 m²/s² / 9.8 m/s²

Δx = 14 m

Therefore, the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B) data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load
