<span>This problem is solved by the equation of motion: x = x0 + v0*t + 1/2*a*t^2, Here x0 = 0, v0 = 40ft/sec and a = -5 ft/s^2, we need to solve for t: v = v0 + a*t, solve how long does it take to stop: 0 = v0 + a*t --> a*t = -v0 --> t = -v0/a -- > 40/5 = 8 seconds to stop. In this time, the car travels x = 0 + 40*8 + 0.5*-5*8^2 ft ~ 160 ft. Answer: The car travels 160 ft.</span>

In a nuclear reactor 1 g of mass is converted into energy. How much energy in Joules is produced?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

3 x 10^5  J

Explanation:

mass of substance, m = 1 g = 0.001 kg

Velocity of light, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

According to the Einstein mass energy equivalence, the energy associated with the mass is given by

E = m c^2

E = 0.001 x 3 x 10^8

E = 3 x 10^5  J

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Endless movement between hot and cold will eventually mean the end of the universe. This law is about inefficiency, degeneration and decay. <u>The second law can be expressed in several ways, the simplest being that heat will naturally flow from a hotter to a colder body. At its heart is a property of thermodynamic systems called entropy.</u> Entropy basically means an increase in randomness. Hope this helps mate.

A 1.15 kg book is at rest on the table. What is the magnitude of the normal force that the table is exerting on the book?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

11.27N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1.15kg

Unknown:

Magnitude of the normal force  = ?

Solution:

The normal force is the vertical force exerted by a body on an object.

It can be described as the weight of an object.

 Normal force  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

 Normal force  = 1.15 x 9.8  = 11.27N

Suppose the Sun moved twice the distance from Earth. Describe immediate and future changes to our planet. Justify your reasoning
Reptile [31]
Our year would now be 2.8 times longer, we would also be receiving only 1/4 of the energy from the sun that we currently do. This means that we’d now be out beyond the orbit of Mars and right at the edge of the asteroid belt, and things would rapidly get very cold with temperatures expected to drop by around 50 degrees Celsius on average, and that’s with our current atmospheric composition which would not be stable in the new conditions. And also, any living thing on earth would die.
