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>
Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.

The reading between 7N and 8N would have to be 7.5N. Answers A and B are much to small and answer C is way to big.
KE = 1/ 2 * 1252 * 144
as KE = 1/2 * m * v ^2
= 90144 J
