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?

Physics

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.

Suppose that a comet that was seen in 563 A.D. by Chinese astronomers was spotted again in year 1951. Assume the time between ob
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

a=2.77*10^{13}m

R_a=5.49*10^{13}m

Explanation:

The period of the comet is the time it takes to do a complete orbit:

T=1951-(-563)=2514 years

writen in seconds:

2514years*\frac{3,154*10^7s}{1year}=7.93 *10^{10}s

Since the eccentricity is greater than 0 but lower than 1 you can know that the trajectory is an ellipse.

Therefore, if the mass of the sun is aprox. 1.99e30 kg, and you assume it to be much larger than the mass of the comet, you can use Kepler's law of periods to calculate the semimajor axis:

T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{Gm_{sun}}a^3\\ a=\sqrt[3]{\frac{Gm_{sun}T^2}{4\pi^2} } \\a=1.50*10^{6}m

Then, using the law of orbits, you can calculate the greatest distance from the sun, which is called aphelion:

R_a=a(1+e)\\R_a=2.77*10^{13}(1.986)\\R_a=5.49*10^{13}m

The Hall effect is to be used to find the sign of charge carriers in a semiconductor sample. The probe is placed between the pol
Alborosie

Answer:

the sign of these carriers is POSITIVE

Explanation:

In the effect, he found the charge carriers that were subjected to two forces, one electric and the other magnetic.

        F = F_e + F_m = q E + q v x B

bold indicates vectors

The electric field goes to the east, therefore the current also has this direction, the vector product of the velocity of the charge carriers towards the east and the magnetic field upwards, using the right hand rule a magnetic force is created towards the north if the carriers are positive.

In the exercise they indicate that the north side has a higher potential than the south side, therefore there must be an accumulation of carriers on this side that create an electric field (Hall) that is put to the magnetic force until reaching equilibrium when the total force is zero.

Therefore the sign of these carriers is POSITIVE
