What is the net force on a truck if the force of friction is 31 N and the force of the engine is 79 N?

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 sample of helium has a volume of 12.7 m3. The temperature is raised to 323 K at which time the gas occupies 32.5 m3? Assume pr

Answer: The original temperature was

$T_{1}=126.51K$

Explanation:

Let's put the information in mathematical form:

$V_{1}=12.7m^{3}$

$T_{1}=?$

$V_{2}=32.5m^{3}$

$T_{2}=323K$

$P_{1}=P_{2}=3atm$

If we consider the helium as an ideal gas, we can use the Ideal Gas Law:

$PV=nRT$

were <em>R</em> is the gas constant. And <em>n</em> is the number of moles (which we don't know yet)

From this, taking $R=0.08205746\frac{atm.l}{mol.K}$ , we have:

$n=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{RT_{2}}$

⇒ $n=3.67mol$

Now:

$T_{1}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{nR}$

⇒ $T_{1}=126.51K$

Answer:

Speed at which it will reach the ground is given as

$v_f = 46.8 m/s$

Total time for which it will remain in air is given as

t = 6.3 s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is projected upwards with speed

$v_i = 15 m/s$

$g = - 9.81 m/s^2$

now when it will reach the ground then we have

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

so we have

$-100 = 15 t - \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) t^2$

$4.905 t^2 - 15 t - 100 = 0$

so we have

$t = 6.3 s$

Now speed of the object when it reaches the ground is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = -15 + (9.81)(6.3)$

$v_f = 46.8 m/s$
