Consider a box sitting in the back of a pickup. The pickup accelerates to the right, and because the bed of the pickup is sticky

, the box does not slide around the truck when this happens.What direction is the force acting on the box due to the truck?

Explanation:

In the frame of the truck, the box is not moving. The force on the box by the truck also acts in the direction of motion of the truck. But it does not move because of the frictional force acting on the box due to the sticky contact surface. Thus, the net force on the box in trucks reference frame is zero.

From outside, the net force acting on the box is in direction of acceleration of the truck i.e. in the right direction.

The pickup accelerates towards right. The box is sticky to the pickup, thus its acceleration is the same, towards right. Its inertia (force) is oposing the acceleration, thus it is towards left. For the box not to move, it is necessary that the truck acts on it with a force towards right. (The two forces of the truck on box and the box inertia (force) equilibrate themselves).

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1331.84 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 490 km

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.81 m/s² = a

From equation of linear motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -1.81\times 490000}\\\Rightarrow u=1331.84\ m/s

The speed of the material must be 1331.84 m/s in order to reach the height of 490 km

A box with a mass of 100.0 kg slides down a ramp with a 50 degree angle. What is the weight of the box? N What is the value of t
nadya68 [22]

1) weight of the box: 980 N

The weight of the box is given by:

W=mg

where m=100.0 kg is the mass of the box, and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting in the formula, we find

W=(100.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=980 N


2) Normal force: 630 N

The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the component of the weight which is perpendicular to the ramp, which is given by

N=W cos \theta

where W is the weight of the box, calculated in the previous step, and \theta=50^{\circ} is the angle of the ramp. Substituting, we find

N=(980 N)(cos 50^{\circ})=630 N


3) Acceleration: 7.5 m/s^2

The acceleration of the box along the ramp is equal to the component of the acceleration of gravity parallel to the ramp, which is given by

a_p = g sin \theta

Substituting, we find

W_p = (9.8 m/s^2)(sin 50^{\circ})=7.5 m/s^2

Water flows without friction vertically downward through a pipe and enters a section where the cross sectional area is larger. T
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

v_{2} will be less than v_{1} and P_{2} will be greater than P_{1}.

Explanation:

As we know from the conservation of mass, the rate at which any amount of fluid mass (m_{1}) is entering in a system is equal to the rate at which the same amount of fluid mass (m_{2}) is leaving the system.

Rate of mass flow can be written as,

m = \rho A v

where \rho is the density of the fluid, A is the area through which the fluid is flowing and v is the velocity of the fluid.

Now, according to the problem, as the density of the fluid does not change, we can write

&& m_{1} = m_{2}\\&or,& \rho A_{1} v_{1} = \rho A_{2} v_{2}\\&or,& \dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}

where A_{1} and A_{2} are the cross-sectional areas through which the fluid is passing and v_{1} and v_{2} are the velocities of the fluid through the respective cross-sectional areas.

As according to the problem, A_{2} > A_{1}, so from the above formula v_{2} < v_{1}.

Also we know that fluid pressure is created by the motion of the fluid through any area. When the fluid gains speed, some of its energy is used to move faster in the fluid’s direction of motion. It causes in a lower pressure.

So, as in this case v_{2} < v_{1} the pressure in the large cross-sectional area P_{2} will be greater than the pressure  P_{1} in the small cross sectional area, i.e.,

P_{2} > P_{1}.
