Answer:

Explanation:
A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.
a)

b)

It would take more energy to reheat 12 cups because only 1 or 2 cups can fit in a microwave rather an than brewing 12 cups in a coffee pot.
Potential energy at top:
PE = mgh
PE = 40 x 9.81 x 12
P.E = 4,708.8 J
Kinetic energy at bottom:
KE = 1/2 mv²
KE = 1/2 x 40 x 10²
K.E = 2,000 J
P.E = K.E + Frictional losses
Frictional losses = 4708 - 2000
Frictional losses = 2708 J
The answer is D.
Use ideal gas equation, with T constant.
pV =nRT => pV / n = RT = constant
n = K* [units of particles]
pV / [units of particles] = constant
13 psi * 160 mL / 15 units = p * 150 mL / 10 units =>
=> p = [13psi*160mL/15units]*[10units/150mL] = 9.2 psi
