Answer:
Gases have three characteristic properties: 1. they are easy to compress, 2. they expand to fill their containers, and 3.they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. Compressibility. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.
Explanation:
Answer:
Acceleration a ≤ 3 m/s^2
the greatest acceleration that the truck can have without losing its load is 3 m/s^2
Explanation:
For the truck to accelerate without losing its load.
Acceleration force of truck must be less than or equal to the maximum friction force between the truck bed and the load.
Fa ≤ F(friction)
But;
Fa = mass × acceleration
Fa = ma
ma ≤ F(friction)
a ≤ (F(friction))/m ......1
Given;
Fa = mass × acceleration
Fa = ma
mass m = 800 kg
F(friction) = 2400 N
Substituting the given values into equation 1;
a ≤ F(friction)/m
a ≤ 2400N/800kg
a ≤ 3 m/s^2
the greatest acceleration that the truck can have without losing its load is 3 m/s^2
The centripetal force needed to keep earth in orbit is gravity.
