Answer:

Part a)

here friction force will accelerate the box in forward direction

Part b)

a = 3.14 m/s/s

Explanation:

Part a)

When truck accelerates forward direction then the box placed on the truck will also move with the truck in same direction

Here if they both moves together with same acceleration then the force on the box is due to friction force between the box and the surface of the truck

So here friction force will accelerate the box in forward direction

Part b)

The maximum value of friction force on the box is known as limiting friction

it is given by the formula

F = \mu mg

so we have

F = ma = \mu mg

now the acceleration is given as

a = \mu g

a = (0.32)(9.8) = 3.14 m/s^2

irina1246 [14]

Answer & Explanation:

Crashing into the asteroid would cause the satellite to slow down, stop, or reverse direction, because it is a force in the opposite direction to the satellite's motion. Whichever crash was a stronger force would cause it to change motion more. It takes a stronger force to change the velocity of a more massive object.

A person is lifting a heavy box using a lever. What is the purpose of the lever in this situation?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

to reduce the <em>force</em> needed to lift the box and <em>change</em> the direction of the force

Explanation:

1. "A lever consists of a rigid bar that is able to pivot at one point. This point of rotation is known as the fulcrum. A force is applied at some point away from the fulcrum (typically called the effort)."

By this definition, we know that force is needed to lift an object using a lever.

2.<u> "When the input and output forces are on opposite sides of the fulcrum, </u><u>the lever changes the direction of the applied force.</u> This occurs only with first-class levers. When both the input and output forces are on the same side of the fulcrum, the direction of the applied force does not change"

For example, on a sew saw, if a force is applied on one end, you on the other side/end would go up, meaning <u>a change in direction</u>.

3. Lastly, we know <u><em>a lever is typically used to reduce work</em></u>, in other words, the force needed to move something.

Basically, if we were to put a lever into an equation:

reduced force + change in direction = lever

(<em>the expection</em>) <u>unless load and force are on the same side</u>, there will be <u>no change in direction. </u>

For example, if you and your friend sit on the same side of a sew saw, the sew saw would not go up or down, meaning no change in direction.

So if not stated otherwise you can assume the load and force are on opposite sides. The purpose of a lever in that situation would be to reduce the force needed to lift the box and change the direction of the force.

*While reading my explanation, it may be helpful to look up a diagram containing a lever, with a load, fulcrum, and applied force.
