A pickup truck is carrying a toolbox, but the rear gate of the truck is missing, so the box will slide out if it is set moving.

The coefficients of kinetic and static friction between the box and the bed of the truck are 0.250 and 0.500, respectively. Starting from rest, what is the shortest time this truck could accelerate uniformly to 36.0m/s (≈ 80.5mph ) without causing the box to slide?

Answer:

t=7.33 s

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

\sum F=m*a

because we don't want the box to slide, the acceleration has to be zero.

\sum F=-F_{friction}+F_{truck}=0\\F_{truck}=F_{friction}\\F_{friction}=\µ*m*g=0.500*9.81*m\\F_{friction}=4.91*m

we know that:

F=m*a\\4.91m=m*a\\a=4.91m/s^2

Now having the acceleration, we can use the following formula.

v_f=a*t\\t=\frac{36.0m/s}{4.91m/s^2}\\\\t=7.33s

I'm walking 1.6m/s to 7-11 and it started to rain so I sped up to 2.7m/s in 1.2
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = \frac{v_f-v_0}{t} which is the final velocity minus the initial velocity in the numerator, and the change in time in the denominator.  For us:

a=\frac{2.7-1.6}{1.2} so

a = .92 m/s/s (NOT negative because you're speeding up)

Why is newton's gravitational force called universal gravitational force​
Lelechka [254]
Newton’s law of gravity is considered “universal” because it is believed to be applicable to the entire Universe (to a good approximation). Gravity does not just pull an apple from a tree, but also pulls the Moon to the Earth, the Earth to the Sun, and so on. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature.

Coiling wire around an iron core and applying an electric current through the wire creates a temporary magnet called an electrom
Serggg [28]

Answer:

C) Use a battery with more voltage.

Explanation:

The equation for the magnetic field around a coil is given by,

B = μ₀NI

where,

B = Magnetic flux density

μ₀ = permeability

N = number of turns per meter

I = Current in the wire

So when using a higher voltage battery, more current passes through the battery as resistance of the wire remains the same.

makkiz [27]

electromagnetic spectrum is consisting of many frequency range which is from gamma rays to radio waves

they are of various wavelength and different energy levels

minimum wavelength will occurs at Gamma rays

and maximum wavelength at Radio waves

the list of increasing order of wavelength is as following

Gamma rays < X rays < Ultraviolet < Visible Light < Infrared Waves < Radio Waves

so least to maximum order is

1. Gamma rays

2. X rays

3 Ultraviolet

4 Visible light

5 Infrared waves

6 Radio waves
