Work done by the car is 3900 J
Explanation:
- Power and work are related by the equation, Power = Work Done/Time
- Power is the rate at which work is done.
- Here, the car uses power of 260 W and time taken is 15 s.
Work Done = Power × Time
= 260 × 15 = 3900 J

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
Answer:
What is most widely accepted today is a the giant-impact theory. It proposes that the Moon formed during a collision between the Earth and another small planet, about the size of Mars. The debris from this impact collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon.
The answer is food irradiation. This involves the brief exposure of food to gamma rays or X-rays to kill pathogens that may contribute to food spoilage. This increases the shelf-life of the food. Gamma rays and X-rays emanate from nuclear decay of radioactive materials such as uranium..
