A box falls off of a tailgate and slides along the street for a distance of 62.5 m. Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2. At what
Mila [183]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the distance covered while moving from initial to final velocity

a is the acceleration

_____________________________________________

Given

box moved for distance of 62.5 m

Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2----> this statement means that there is deceleration , speed of truck decreases by 5 m/s in every second until the box comes to rest. Friction causes this deceleration.

thus in this problem

a = -5.0 m/s2

V = 0   as body came to rest due to friction deceleration

u the initial velocity we have to find

the initial velocity of box will be the same as speed of truck, as the box was in the truck and hence box will pick the speed of truck.

so if we find speed of box, we will be able get sped of truck as well.

using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\0^2 = u^2 + 2*-5* 62.5\\0 = u^2 - 625\\u^2 = 625\\\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{625} \\u = 25

Thus, initial speed with the truck was travelling was 25 m/s.

What causes the spiral structural in milky way?
Mrac [35]
The spiral structure of the milky way can be explained by long lived quasi-static density waves<em>, </em><em>according to the lin-shu hypothesis. </em>Curiously, the waves of higher density gas and stars (seen as spiral arms) appear to remain static as stars move around the galaxy. This explained by assuming that the gravitational disturbances cause by the 'clumping' material in the arms does not affect the gravitational field of the galaxy as whole and is therefore negligible.
