Answer: D: Mass and volume

Explanation: The two defining characteristics of matter is that it has a given mass and a given volume (so matter ocuppies a place in the space)

Where something with zero volume can not have mass. And things with no mass, like photons, are not matter.

So the correct answer will be option D: Mass and volume

2.1) (i) W = mg downwards
(ii) N = R = Normal Reaction from the ground upwards
(iii) Fe = Force of engine towards the right
(iv) f = friction towards the left
(v) ma = Constant acceleration towards right.
2.2.1)
v = 25 m/s
u = 0 m/s
∆v = v - u = (25 - 0) m/s = 25 m/s
x = X
∆t = 50 s
$a \: = \: \frac{dv}{dt} \: = \: \frac{25 \: \frac{m}{s} }{50 \: s} \: = \: 0.5 \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }$
a = 0.5 m/s².
2.2.2)
F = ma = 900 kg × 0.5 m/s² = 450 N.
2.2.3)
$2ax \: = \: {v}^{2} \: - \: {u}^{2}$
$x \: = \: \frac{ {v}^{2} \: - \: {u}^{2} }{2a} \: = \: \frac{{(25 \: \frac{m}{s})}^{2} \: - \: {(0 \: \frac{m}{s} )}^{2} }{2 \: \times \: 0.5 \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } } \: = \: 625 \: m$
2.3)
Fe = f + ma
Fe - f = ma
For velocity to be constant,
a should be 0, or, a = 0,
Fe = f = 270 N
2.4.1)
v = 0
u = 25 m/s
a = -0.5 m/s²
v = u + at
t = -u/a = -(25)/(-0.5) = 50 s.
2.4.2)
x = -625/(2×(-0.5)) = 625 m.

Answer:

166 W

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

$\text{Power} = \dfrac{\text{Work done}}{\text{time}}$
