Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.
It depends where you are.
-- If you weigh 120 pounds on the Moon,
then your mass is 329.1 kilograms.
-- If you weigh 120 pounds on Mars,
then your mass is 143.8 kilograms.
-- If you weigh 120 pounds on the Earth,
then your mass is 54.4 kilograms.
Answer:
increasing; speeding up is my answer
Explanation:
There are three forces on the bicycle:
Reaction force Rp pushing up at P,
Reaction force Rq pushing up at Q,
Weight force mg pulling down at O.
There are four equations you can write: sum of the forces in the y direction, sum of the moments at P, sum of the moments at Q, and sum of the moments at O.
Sum of the forces in the y direction:
Rp + Rq − (15)(9.8) = 0
Rp + Rq − 147 = 0
Sum of the moments at P:
(15)(9.8)(0.30) − Rq(1) = 0
44.1 − Rq = 0
Sum of the moments at Q:
Rp(1) − (15)(9.8)(0.70) = 0
Rp − 102.9 = 0
Sum of the moments at O:
Rp(0.30) − Rq(0.70) = 0
0.3 Rp − 0.7 Rq = 0
Any combination of these equations will work.
