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.

How many ""accelerators"" do you have in your car? There are three ways to change the velocity of a car and there are three corr
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The three "accelerators"  are: the throttle,  the steering wheel and the brakes.

Explanation:

Acceleration means change in velocity. But this change may be in module or in direction.

Car throttle will increase the  velocity module of the car and brakes wil diminish it. On the other hand, the steering wheel will change the direction of the velocity.

Hope my answer helps you.    Have a nive day!

If a cup of water has holes in it than why does no water come out when when it is falling?
quester [9]

Because the acceleration of gravity is the acceleration of gravity.
It doesn't matter what the mass of a falling object is, and it  doesn't
matter whether a falling object is solid or liquid.  ALL falling objects
fall with the same acceleration, reach the same speed, and hit the
ground at the same time.

If there was no air in the way, then a feather, a school bus, and a
battleship would accelerate at the same rate, fall together and hit
the ground at the same time.

When you drop a cup full of water that has holes in it, the cup and
the water fall with the same acceleration, reach the same speed,
and hit the floor at the same time.  Then, THAT's the time to go
and get the mop.

1.) Using Ohm’s law, explain how voltage changes in relation to current, assuming that resistance remains constant.
Harrizon [31]
1.) Ohm's law is understood as I = V/R. Given that resistance is constant, then voltage changes directly proportional to current.

2.) The more current that passes through a lightbulb, the brighter it glows. The higher the current, the higher the power, where power determines the brightness of a bulb.

3.) A bulb has a specific limit to how much power (Watts) it can handle. Going over the limit would cause the bulb to burn out.

4.) When a bulb burns out, no current will be able to pass through the filament.
