A box (250 kg) sits inside the trailer of a semitruck traveling at a speed of 25 m/s (~ 55 mph). Suddenly, a car in front of the

truck stops in the road. The driver of the truck hits the brakes to bring the truck to a stop. Assume that the coefficient of static friction µs = 0.7 between the box and the floor of the trailer. Assume g = 10 m/s2. When the truck slows down while traveling left, what is the direction of the friction force on box 1 (right, left, none)?

Answer:

RIGHT

Explanation:

given,

mass of box = 250 kg  

speed of the truck = 25 m/s

static friction  µs = 0.7      

g = 10 m/s²                

to find direction of friction on the box    

truck is moving in left direction and suddenly in front of truck a car stops then the driver hit the brake hard so at that moment the box on the trailer will have the tendency to move left so to oppose its movement friction force will be on RIGHT

A slingshot is fired with an initial velocity of 100 m/s at an angle of 55° follows a parabolic trajectory and hits a stationary
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The horizontal speed with which the slingshot hits the balloon is approximately 57.358 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the slingshot motion are;

The initial velocity of the slingshot, v = 100 m/s

The angle (to the horizontal) at which the slingshot is fired makes, θ = 55°

The path of the slingshot which hits the stationary balloon at the top of its flight = Parabolic trajectory

The horizontal component of the velocity = vₓ = v·cos(θ) = Constant

vₓ = 100 × cos(55°) ≈ 57.358

The horizontal speed with which the slingshot hits the balloon = vₓ ≈ 57.358 m/s.

protons in an atomic nucleus are typically 10-15 m apart. what is the electric force of repulsion between nuclear protons?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

230 Newton

Electric charge consists of two types i.e. positively electric charge and negatively electric charge.There was a famous scientist who investigated about this charges. His name is Coulomb and succeeded in formulating the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges i.e. :

F = electric force (N)

k = electric constant (N m² / C²)

q = electric charge (C)

r = distance between charges (m)

The value of k in a vacuum = 9 x 10⁹ (N m² / C²)

F = k(q1 q2)/ r^2

Distance between protons = d = 10⁻¹⁵ m

charge of proton = q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Here q1=q2

electric force = F =230N

Coulomb's Law. Two protons in an atomic nucleus are typically separated by a distance of 2×10−15m. The electric repulsive force between the protons is huge, but the attractive nuclear force is even stronger and keeps the nucleus from bursting apart.

2 Nuclei and the Need for an Attractive Nuclear Force. The Coulomb force also acts within atomic nucleii, whose characteristic dimension is 10 m, which is called a fermi. There are two protons in a He nucleus, which repel each other because of the Coulomb force.

Which of the following has the greatest inertia? A. a toy car . . B. a jet airliner . . C. a full-size car . . D. a pick-up truc
Setler79 [48]
Inertia is defined as the property of matter by which causes it to resist changes in its state of motion such as changes in velocity. From the given options above, the option that has the greatest inertia would be option B. A jet airliner.

Which of the following is a possible measurement of velocity? A. 25 m B. 25 m/s C. 25 m east D. 25 m/s east
Kazeer [188]
Answer is B.
Because velocity is vector quantity, so magnitud and direction are needed to define it.
Since velocity means the speed(magnitude) of some object in a given direction, so it’s units are usually measured by meters/ seconds

How do you test hydrogen gas
Vanyuwa [196]

Explanation:

A splint is lit and held near the opening of the tube, then the stopper is removed to expose the splint to the gas. If the gas is flammable, the mixture ignites. This test is most commonly used to identify hydrogen, which extinguishes with a distinctive 'squeaky pop' sound.
