Answer: C) 48 N forward

===================================================

Explanation:

Subtract the two forces, since they are working opposite one another.

79-31 = 48

The net force is 48 newtons forward. The truck is moving forward since the engine's force (79 N) is larger than the force of friction (31 N).

The force of friction cannot exceed the engine's force because friction only slows down an object, and does not push the object backward. In other words, if the object was stationary, then the ground isn't pushing the object backwards assuming you're on a level flat ground.

A student performing a double-slit experiment is using a green laser with a wavelength of 550 nm. She is confused when the m = 5

sweet [91]

Answer:

d = 52 μm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light source (λ)= 550 nm

distance to form interference pattern(D) = 1.5 m

y = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

width of the slits = ?

now, using displacement formula

$y = \dfrac{m\lambda\ D}{d}$

for the first maxima, m = 1

$d = \dfrac{1\times \lambda\ D}{y}$

$d = \dfrac{1\times 550 \times 10^{-9}\times 1.5}{0.016}$

d = 5.2 x 10⁻⁶ m

d = 52 μm

hence, the width of her slits is equal to d = 52 μm

Translate the word phrase into an algebraic equation: the quotient of 22 and 2 is equal to 11.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

22/2 = 11

Explanation:

A quotient means the result of a division problem. When it says the quotient of a and b, this means of "a divided by b". Remember to always go in the right order, because in division, order matters.

Therefore the quotient of 22 and 2 is equal to 11 is written: 22/2 = 11

Answer:

Apply the following formulae horizontally And get A value for time

Remember horizontal acceleration is zero

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}a {t}^{2} \\ 0.8 = 1.7 \times t \\ \frac{0.8}{1.7} = t \\ t = 0.47s$
