A box rests on top of a flat bed truck. the box has a mass of m = 18 kg. the coefficient of static friction between the box and

truck is μs = 0.86 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and truck is μk = 0.69. 1) the truck accelerates from rest to vf = 16 m/s in t = 16 s (which is slow enough that the box will not slide). what is the acceleration of the box?

For this case, the first thing you should do is write the kinematic motion equation of the block.
 We have then:
 vf = vo + a * t
 Where,
 vf: Final speed.
 vo: Initial speed.
 a: acceleration.
 t: time.
 Substituting the values:
 (16) = (0) + a * (16)
 Clearing the acceleration:
 a = 16/16 = 1m / s ^ 2
 Note: the other data for this case are not used in this problem.
 answer:
 The acceleration of the box is 1m / s ^ 2

A force of 10N is required to stretch a spring from 20cm to 25cm. What is the spring constant in N/m2 Be careful of unit
kupik [55]

Answer:

C) 40 N/m

Explanation:

If we ASSUME that the spring is un-stretched at the zero cm position

k = F/Δx = 10/0.25 = 40 N/m

timurjin [86]
<span>D. sugar changes from white to a light amber color We're looking for a chemical change. So let's examine the options and see what happening with them. A. adding cream and milk to the mixture She's just making a mixture here. No unexpected reactions or changes happen as she adds the cream and milk. So this is the wrong answer. B. mixing the sugar with water Dissolving the sugar in water. Once again, nothing unusual happens and if she were to evaporate the water, she'd be left with the original sugar. So this is the wrong answer. C. melting the sugar Just starting a simple phase change. Once again, no the right answer. D. sugar changes from white to a light amber color She's melted the sugar and has a clear fluid. As she continued to heat this fluid, it suddenly turns light amber. She has made a permanent change to the substance that she can't undo by simply physical means. She has converted part of the sugar into caramel. So a chemical change has happened here.</span>
