A 150.0-kg crate rests in the bed of a truck that slows from 50.0 km/h to a stop in 12.0 s. The coefficient of static friction b

etween the crate and the truck bed is 0.645. What is the minimum stopping time for the truck in order to prevent the crate from sliding?

By Newton's second law,

• the net force acting vertically on the crate is 0, and

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0   ==>   <em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> = 1470 N

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force; and

• the net force acting in the horizontal direction on the crate is also 0, with

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>f</em> - <em>b</em> = 0   ==>   <em>b</em> = <em>f</em> = <em>µn</em> = 0.645 (1470 N) = 948.15 N

where <em>b</em> is the magnitude of the braking force, <em>f</em> is (the maximum) static friction, and <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of static friction. This is to say that static friction has a maximum magnitude of 948.15 N. If the brakes apply a larger force than this, then the crate will begin to slide.

Note that we are taking the direction of the truck's motion as it slows down to be the positive horizontal direction. The brakes apply a force in the negative direction to slow down the truck-crate system, and static friction keeps the crate from sliding off the truck bed so that the frictional force points in the positive direction.

Let <em>a</em> be the acceleration felt by the crate due to either the brakes or friction. Use Newton's second law again to solve for <em>a</em> :

<em>f</em> = <em>ma</em>   ==>   <em>a</em> = (948.15 N) / (150.0 kg) = 6.321 m/s²

With this acceleration, the truck will come to a stop after time <em>t</em> such that

0 = 50.0 km/h - (6.321 m/s²) <em>t</em>   ==>   <em>t</em> ≈ (13.9 m/s) / (6.321 m/s²) ≈ 2.197 s

and this is the smallest stopping time possible.

A certain dielectric with a dielectric constant = 24 can withstand an electric field of 4 107 V/m. Suppose we want to use this d
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field E = 4 x 10⁷ V / m

Dielectric constant k = 24

capacitance of capacitor

C = kε₀ A / d

d = plate separation

A =  plate area

C = .89 x 10⁻⁶

V / d = electric field

for minimum d , electric field will be maximum

V / d  = 4 x 10⁷

1930 / d = 4 x 10⁷

d = 1930 / 4 x 10⁷

d = 482.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

= 48.25 x 10⁻⁶ m

C = kε₀ A / d

.89 x 10⁻⁶ = 24 ε₀ A / d

A = .89 x 10⁻⁶  X d /  24 ε₀

A = .89 x 10⁻⁶  X 48.25 x 10⁻⁶  /  24  x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= 42.9 / 212.4

= .2019 m²

At each of the designated points, rotate the given vector to indicate the direction of the force exerted by the water on either
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The direction of the force at A and B is perpendicular to the walls of the container.

The direction of the force at C is down.

The direction of the force in D is up

The direction of the force at E is to the left.

The attached figure shows the forces exerted by the water at points A, B, C, D and E.

Explanation:

The water is in contact with the bowl and with the fish. It exercises at points A, B, C, D and E, but the direction is different from the force.

The fish has a buoyant force on the water and that direction is up. The direction of at point D is up.

The column of water on the fish has a downward force, therefore the direction of the force at point C is down. The water column to the right of the fish has a force to the left, and the direction at point E is to the left.

The water will exert a force on the walls of the container and this force at points A and B is a on the walls of the container.

If the result of your calculation of a quantity has si units kg•m^2/s^2•C, that quantity could be
Novosadov [1.4K]
It would be Joules.
Workdone is measured in Joules.
Workdone = Force * distance
Force = mass * acceleration
          = kg      *  ms⁻²
          = kgms⁻²

Distance = m

So, Force * distance
       kgms⁻² * m

Apply laws of indices that says
x² * x³ = x²⁺³ = x⁵

Therefore, It would be kgm²s⁻²
m¹ * m¹ = m¹⁺¹ = m²
s⁻² is also = s / 2
