Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slid

e forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 10 000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20 000-kg truck moving at 12.0 m/s. Assume that the load is not tied down to the truck, but has a coefficient of friction of 0.500 with the flatbed of the truck.
A) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.
B) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?
a) mass of the load.
b) mass of the truck.
c) velocity.
d) coefficient of static friction.
e) all are necessary.

Answer:

A)

the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B)

data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of load m_{LS} = 10000 kg

mass of flat bed m_{FB} = 20000 kg

initial speed of truck v_{0} = 12 m/s

coefficient of friction between the load sits and flat bed μs = 0.5

A) the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.

Now, using the expression

Fs,max = μs F_{N}     -------------let this be equation 1

where F_{N} = normal force = mg

so

Fs,max = μs mg

ma_{max} = μs mg

divide through by mass

a_{max} = μs g    ---------- let this be equation 2

in equation 2, we substitute in our values

a_{max} = 0.5 × 9.8 m/s²

a_{max} = 4.9 m/s²

now, from the third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

v_{f}² = v_{0}² + 2aΔx

where v_{f} is final velocity ( 0 m/s )

a is acceleration( - 4.9 m/s² )

so we substitute

(0)² = (12 m/s)² + 2(- 4.9 m/s² )Δx

0 = 144 m²/s² - 9.8 m/s²Δx

9.8 m/s²Δx = 144 m²/s²

Δx = 144 m²/s² /  9.8 m/s²

Δx = 14 m

Therefore, the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B) data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

How do we find an atom's mass number?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons. Example: Find the atomic mass of an isotope of carbon that has 7 neutrons. You can see from the periodic table that carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is its number of protons.

You can increase the vapor pressure of a liquid by:
irga5000 [103]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by vapors or gas on the surface of a liquid.

When we increase the temperature of a liquid substance then there will occur an increase kinetic energy of the molecules. As a result, they will move readily from one place to another.

Hence, liquid state of a substance will change into vapor state of the substance. This means that an increase in temperature will lead to an increase in vapor pressure of the substance.

Thus, we can conclude that you can increase the vapor pressure of a liquid by increasing temperature.

A wave has a wavelength of 7 mm and a frequency of 9 hertz. What is its speed?
Snezhnost [94]
Speed of wave = Frequency x Wavelength
so Speed = 0.7 x 9 = 6.3

remember the calculations must be done in their Basic SI units.
therefore, you have to convert 7 mm to meters which becomes 0.7 meters
