Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.
Answer:
1) 1.31 m/s2
2) 20.92 N
3) 8.53 m/s2
4) 1.76 m/s2
5) -8.53 m/s2
Explanation:
1) As the box does not slide, the acceleration of the box (relative to ground) is the same as acceleration of the truck, which goes from 0 to 17m/s in 13 s
2)According to Newton 2nd law, the static frictional force that acting on the box (so it goes along with the truck), is the product of its mass and acceleration
3) Let g = 9.81 m/s2. The maximum static friction that can hold the box is the product of its static coefficient and the normal force.
So the maximum acceleration on the block is
4)As the box slides, it is now subjected to kinetic friction, which is
So if the acceleration of the truck it at the point where the box starts to slide, the force that acting on it must be at 136.6 N too. So the horizontal net force would be 136.6 - 108.3 = 28.25N. And the acceleration is
28.25 / 16 = 1.76 m/s2
5) Same as number 3), the maximum deceleration the truck can have without the box sliding is -8.53 m/s2
Well momentum is = to Mass*Velocity so let's use an example to figure this out
If I weighed 50kg and I was jogging at 3m/s then I broke into a run at 6m/s how will me momentum be affected?
3m/s*50kg=150
6m/s*50kg=300
So as you can see by doubling the velocity you also double the momentum
