<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>
Potential energy, I’m pretty sure I don’t know but we was learning this in science and this is all I remember that potential energy is the moment energy reaches to a stop...
Answer:
(a) 7.72×10⁵ J
(b) 4000 J
(c) 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy: This can be defined energy of a body due to its motion. The expression for kinetic energy is given as,
Ek = 1/2mv²................... Equation 1
Where Ek = Kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity
(a)
For a moving automobile,
Ek = 1/2mv².
Given: m = 2.0×10³ kg, v = 100 km/h = 100(1000/3600) m/s = 27.78 m/s
Substitute into equation 1
Ek = 1/2(2.0×10³)(27.78²)
Ek = 7.72×10⁵ J
(b)
For a sprinting runner,
Given: m = 80 kg, v = 10 m/s
Substitute into equation 1 above,
Ek = 1/2(80)(10²)
Ek = 40(100)
Ek = 4000 J
(c)
For a moving electron,
Given: m = 9.10×10⁻³¹ kg, v = 2.0×10⁷ m/s
Substitute into equation 1 above,
Ek = 1/2(9.10×10⁻³¹)(2.0×10⁷)²
Ek = 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J
Yes, eg., when 2 bodies move in opposite directions
, the relative velocity of each is greater than the individual velocity of either
