Answer:
The acceleration of point A = 14.64 ft/s²
Explanation:
By proper analysis of the diagram, acceleration of point A will be: (Check the free body diagram attached)

Weight, W = mg
g = 32.2 ft/s²
m = W/g



but 


Answer:
232 J/K
Explanation:
The amount of heat gained by the air = the amount of heat lost by the tea.
q_air = -q_tea
q = -mCΔT
q = -(0.250 kg) (4184 J/kg/ºC) (20.0ºC − 85.0ºC)
q = 68,000 J
The change in entropy is:
dS = dQ/T
Since the room temperature is constant (isothermal):
ΔS = ΔQ/T
Plug in values (remember to use absolute temperature):
ΔS = (68,000 J) / (293 K)
ΔS = 232 J/K
The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.
