Acrate is sitting in the center of a flatbed truck. as the truck accelerates to the east, the crate moves with it, not sliding on the bed of the truck. in what direction is the friction force exerted by the bed of the truck on the crate? 1. to the south 2. there is no friction force, because the crate isn’t sliding 3. to the west 4. to the east 5. to the north

Calculate the heat capacity per object when the total energy is 4 quanta. (think of this in terms of increasing from 3.5 quanta of energy in the system to 4.5 quanta of energy in the system, if that were possible.) c4 = __ j/k/object

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?

Samir watches a 100-minute movie on his spaceship. maria's spaceshipe flies in the same direction as samir's spaceship but she observes his move to last 125 minutes and his spaceship to be 40 m long. how long does samir observe his own spaceship to be? according to an observer on earth, planet x is stationary. maria and samir depart earth on their spaceships at the same time, each flying at 0.5c. maria flies toward planet x and samir flies in the opposite direction. according to maria, her voyage to planet x takes 9 years. how many years does marias voyage take according to samir?
