To solve this problem it is necessary to apply Newton's first law which warns that every body remains in continuous motion or at rest until an external force acts on it.

From the statement it is said that there is no friction on the crate, then the sum of forces in the horizontal direction will be zero. Here as the truck is slowing down, there is not net horizontal force on the crate, it means that the crate is at rest.

The correct answer is e. No direction. The net force is zero.

A typical incandescent light bulb consumes 75 W of power and has a mass of 30 g. You want to save electrical energy by dropping
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The height will be 917431.2 m.

Explanation:

Power of bulb = 75 W

Time kept on 1 hr = 60 x 60 = 3600 sec

Energy of bulb = power x time

E = 75 x 3600 = 270000 J

From conservation of energy, kinetic energy of the bulb is equal to the potential energy of the bulb due to its height of fall.

Potential energy = m x g x h

Where g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s2

m = mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

PE = 0.03 x 9.81 x h = 0.2943h

Equating withe the energy of bulb (still obeying energy conservation)

270000 = 0.2943h

h = 270000/0.2943 = 917431.2 m

A 0.45 kg soccer ball changes its velocity by 20.0 m/s due to a force applied to it in 0.10 seconds. What force was necessary fo
Sonja [21]
For this problem, we will need the famous equation F=ma, as detailed by Isaac Newton.

F=mass x acceleration, where Force is in Newtons.

20 m/s represents the quantity of speed change, but to use in the equation, we need acceleration, not speed. Acceleration is the velocity change over a unit time, so changing 20 m/s in 0.1 seconds means that the acceleration was 200 m/s^2.

Plugging in all your numbers, you find:

F=(0.45 kg)(200 m/s^2) = 90 N of force.

I need help with question 26<br>this is from my physics textbook
Neko [114]

Suppose a,b,c are measured in meters. Then the semiperimeter s=\dfrac{a+b+c}2 is also given in meters, so s-a,s-b,s-c are all also given in meters. When multiplied together, (s-a)(s-b)(s-c) is measured in cubic meters. Divide this by s, measured in meters, and this reduces to square meters. Take the square root and you end up back with meters once again. So the formula is indeed dimensionally consistent.
