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

Answer:

1. bending of light in gravitational fields.

2. effect of gravitational redshift.

3. perihelion precission of mecury.

Explanation:

1 bending of light in gravitational fields, we can think of it like this:

by noting the change in position s of stars as they pass near the sun on the celetial sphere, so since the sun creates a gravitational field even the star thats not in our line of side(behind the sun) can be seen because its light is bent.

2. effects of gravitational redshift:

this says that if you are in the gravitational field, your clock moves slower when it is seen by a distant observer.

3. perihelion precission of mecury:

according to Newtonian physics a two body system consisting of a lone orbiting the spherical mass would trace out an ellipse with the center of mass of the system as the focus but mercury deviates from that precission. then according to Einstein, the change in orientation of the orbital ellipsewithin its orbital plane is the effect of gravitation being mediated by the curvature of space-time.

In science, a broad idea that has been repeatedly verified so as to give scientists great confidence that it represents reality
Colt1911 [192]

In science, a broad idea that has been repeatedly verified so as to give scientists great confidence that it represents reality is called "a theory".

<u>Explanation:</u>

In science, the interpretation of a feature of the organic world that can be tested in repeat manner and analysed by applying agreed tests validation methods, calculation and observation in according to the scientific method, such process is called as a theory in science.

The difference lie between a theory and a hypothesis. Because hypothesis is an "educated guess". Overall it is either a proposed interpretation of an observed phenomenon, or a logical inference of a possible causal association between several phenomena.

A ball is dropped off the balcony of a hotel room and it takes 2.8s to fall to the ground . how high above the ground is the bal
RideAnS [48]

The height of the ball above the ground is 38.45 m

First we will calculate the velocity of the ball when it touch the ground by using first equation of motion

v=u+gt

v=0+9.81×2.8

v=27.468 m/s

now the height of the ground can be calculated by the formula

v=√2gh

27.468=√2×9.81×h

h=38.45 m
