Answer:
(a) 3.807 s
(b) 145.581 m
Explanation:
Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.
The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at 
speed is
The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at 
speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is
We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:
(b)
Mass, m = 5890g
Change in temperature, θ = Final_temperature - Initial_temperature
= 315 - 462°C
= -147°C
Specific heat capacity of aluminum, c = 0.900 J/(g*K)
=mcθ
=5890g x 0.900 J/(g*K) x -147°C
=-779,247j
Answer would be C.
So far, since you moved into the apartment until the end of this much of the story, you haven't done ANY work on the dresser yet.
I'll admit that you pushed, groaned and grunted, sweated and strained plenty. You're physically and mentally exhausted, you're not interested in the dresser at the moment, and right now you just want to snappa cappa brew, crash on the couch, and watch cartoons on TV. But if you've done your Physics homework, you know you haven't technically done any <u><em>work</em></u> yet.
In Physics, "Work" is the product of Force times Distance.
Since the dresser hasn't budged yet, the Distahce is zero. So no matter how great the Force may be, it's multiplied by zero, so the <em>Work is zero</em>.
