Ok so the first thing you need to do is im not gonna help you
My best guess would be sun because it is bright but is surrounded by shadows on all sides.
-- Multiply each side of the formula by 2
-- Then divide each side by t
-- Then subtract V(i) from each side.
<span>3.92 m/s^2
Assuming that the local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then the maximum acceleration that the truck can have is the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, so
0.4 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 m/s^2
If you want the more complicated answer, the normal force that the crate exerts is it's mass times the local gravitational acceleration, so
20.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 kg*m/s^2 = 196 N
Multiply by the coefficient of static friction, giving
196 N * 0.4 = 78.4 N
So we need to apply 78.4 N of force to start the crate moving. Let's divide by the crate's mass
78.4 N / 20.0 kg
= 78.4 kg*m/s^2 / 20.0 kg
= 3.92 m/s^2
And you get the same result.</span>
I disagree with that opinion, and I have solid Physics to back me up.
The forces of gravity are always equal in both directions. The sun pulls the Earth with exactly the same force with which the Earth pulls the sun.
It may seem weird, but your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you. For the same reason.
