A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green at t=0, a truck with a constant speed passes the car with a 20m/
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

At t = (70 / 3) \; {\rm s} (approximately 23.3 \; {\rm s}.)

Explanation:

Note that the acceleration of the car between t = 0\; {\rm s} and t = 20\; {\rm s} (\Delta t = 20\; {\rm s}) is constant. Initial velocity of the car was v_{0} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}, whereas v_{1} = 35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} at t = 20\; {\rm s}\!. Hence, at t = 20\; {\rm s}\!\!, this car would have travelled a distance of:

\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{(v_{1} - v_{0})\, \Delta t}{2} \\ &= \frac{(35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \times (20\; {\rm s})}{2} \\ &= 350\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}.

At t = 20\; {\rm s}, the truck would have travelled a distance of x = v\, t = 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} \times 20\; {\rm s} = 400\; {\rm m}.

In other words, at t = 20\; {\rm s}, the truck was 400\; {\rm m} - 350\; {\rm m} = 50\; {\rm m} ahead of the car. The velocity of the car is greater than that of the truck by 35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 15 \; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}. It would take another (50\; {\rm m}) / (15\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) = (10/3)\; {\rm s} before the car catches up with the truck.

Hence, the car would catch up with the truck at t = (20 + (10/3))\; {\rm s} = (70 / 3)\; {\rm s}.

Legacy issues $570,000 of 8.5%, four-year bonds dated January 1, 2019, that pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31
choli [55]

Answer:

1) Determine the total bond interest expense to be recognized.

Total bond interest expense over life of bonds:

Amount repaid:    

8 payments of $24,225:           $193,800    

Par value at maturity:                 $570,000    

Total repaid:                                   $763800 (193,800 + 570,000)  

Less amount borrowed:         $508050    

Total bond interest expense: $255750 (763800 - 508,050)

2)Prepare a straight-line amortization table for the bonds' first two years.

Semiannual Interest Period­ End; Unamortized Discount; Carrying Value

01/01/2019                                      61,950                           508,050  

06/30/2019                                      54,206                          515,794  

12/31/2019                                       46,462                         523,538  

06/30/2020                                       38,718                        531,282  

12/31/2020                                         30,974                          539,026

3) Record the interest payment and amortization on June 30:

June 30            Bond interest expense, dr                         31969  

                       Discount on bonds payable, Cr     (61950/8)  7743.75

                                        Cash, Cr                     ( 570000*8.5%/2)  24225  

4) Record the interest payment and amortization on December 31:

Dec 31                 Bond interest expense, Dr               31969  

                           Discount on bonds payable, Cr  7744  

                                    Cash, Cr                                24225

The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 21.0 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The blocks must be pushed with a force higher than 359 Newtons horizontally in order to accomplish this friction levitation feat.

Explanation:

The first step in resolving any physics problem is to draw the given scenario (if possible), see the attached image to have an idea of the objects and forces involved.

The large cube in red is being pushed from the left by a force \vec{P} whose value is to be found. That cube has its own weight \vec{w}_1=m_1\vec{g}, and it is associated with the force of gravity which points downward. Newton's third law stipulates that the response from the floor is an upward pointing force on the cube, and it's called the normal force \vec{N}_1.

A second cube is being pushed by the first, and since the force \vec{P} is strong enough it is able to keep such block suspended as if it were glued to the first one, due to friction. As in the larger cube, the smaller one has a weight \vec{w}_2=m_2\vec{g} pointing downwards, but the normal force in this block doesn't point upwards since its 'floor' isn't below it, but in its side, therefore the normal force directs it to the right as it is shown in the picture. Normal forces are perpendicular to the surface they contact. The final force is the friction between both cubes, that sets a resistance of one moving parallel the other. In this case, the weight of the block its the force pointing parallel to the contact surface, so the friction opposes that force, and thus points upwards. Friction forces can be set as Fr=\mu~N, where \mu is the coefficient of static friction between the cubes.

Now that all forces involved are identified, the following step is to apply Newton's second law and add all the forces for each block that point in the same line, and set it as equal its mass multiplied by its acceleration. The condition over the smaller box is the relevant one so its the first one to be analyzed.

In the vertical component: \Sigma F^2_y=Fr-w_2=m_2 a_y Since the idea is that it doesn't slips downwards, the vertical acceleration should be set to zero a_y=0, and making explicit the other forces: \mu N_2-m_2g=0\quad\Rightarrow (0.710)N_2-(4.5)(10)=0\quad\Rightarrow N_2=(4.5)(10)/(0.710)\approx 63.38 [N]. In the last equation gravity's acceleration was rounded to 10 [m/s^2].

In its horizontal component: \Sigma F^2_x=N_2=m_2 a_x, this time the horizontal acceleration is not zero, because it is constantly being pushed. However, the value of the normal force and the mass of the block are known, so its horizontal acceleration can be determined: 63.38=(4.5) a_x \quad \Rightarrow a_x=(63.38)/(4.5)\approx 14.08 [m/s^2]. Notice that this acceleration is higher than the one of gravity, and it is understandable since you should be able to push it harder than gravity in order for it to not slip.

Now the attention is switched to the larger cube. The vertical forces are not relevant here, since the normal force balances its weight so that there isn't vertical acceleration. The unknown force comes up in the horizontal forces analysis: \Sigma F_x=P=m a_x, since the force \vec{P} is not only pushing the first block but both, the mass involved in this equation is the combined masses of the blocks, the acceleration is the same for both blocks since they move together; P=(21.0+4.5) 14.08\approx 359.04 [N]. The resulting force is quite high but not impossible to make by a human being, this indicates that this feat of friction suspension is difficult but feasable.
