A truck is traveling on a level road. The driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the truck to decelerate by an amount g/2.

This causes a box in the rear of the truck to slide forward. If the coefficient of sliding friction between the box and the truckbed is 2/5, find the acceleration of the box relative to the truck and relative to the road.

Answer:

Truck \dfrac{g}{10}

Road -\dfrac{g}{10}

Explanation:

a_1 = Acceleration of truck = -\dfrac{g}{2}

\mu = Coefficient of friction = \dfrac{2}{5}

Frictional force is given by

f=-\mu mg\\\Rightarrow f=-\dfrac{2}{5}mg\\\Rightarrow ma_2=-\dfrac{2}{5}mg\\\Rightarrow a_2=-\dfrac{2}{5}g

Net acceleration is given by

a=a_2-a_1\\\Rightarrow a=-\dfrac{2}{5}g+\dfrac{g}{2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{g}{10}

The acceleration of the box relative to the truck is \dfrac{g}{10} and -\dfrac{g}{10} relative to the road.

You have a piece of cork with a volume of 2 cm^3 and a density of 210kg/m^3. You hold it under water and release it.
insens350 [35]

I am sorry if it didn't helped

answers;

Calculate the buoyant force of a piece of cork of 8cm3 that floats in water. Density of cork is 207kg/m3. ?

I need the mass, in order to get the volume to apply t to the Buoyancy formula of: B=(W)object=(m)object(g)

Explanation:

From Archimedes Principle, any object partially or totally submerged in a fluid is buoyed upwards with a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

If the magnitude of F1 is greater than the magnitude of F2, then the box is
Lady bird [3.3K]

Assuming that the vectors are acting along the same axis, we could just simply add or subtract the vectors. Since the F1 is greater than F2, there would be motion, there would be acceleration, and that the direction of motion is along the F1.

What happens to energy and frequency of a wave if its wavelength increases?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Waves can be measured using wavelength and frequency. ... The distance from one crest to the next is called a wavelength (λ). The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.

Why does the moon's gravity have a greater effect on the earth's ocean than the sun.
White raven [17]

Answer:

Tides on our planet are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. Earth's oceans "bulge out" because the Moon's gravity pulls a little harder on one side of our planet (the side closer to the Moon) than it does on the other. The Sun's gravity raises tides, too, but lunar tides are twice as big.
