Resistance is where you try to stop something from happening or trying to stop something in general
Answer:
The time taken by the brick to hit the ground, t = 0.84 s
Explanation:
Given that,
A brick falls from a height, h = 3.42 m
The initial velocity of the brick is zero.
Since the brick is under free-falling. The time equation of a free-falling body when the displacement is given is
t = 
where,
h - height from surface in meters
g - acceleration due to gravity
on substituting the values in the above equation,
t = 
= 0.84 s
Hence, time taken by the brick to hit the ground is t = 0.84 s
The piece of paper has less mass and will glide down the window, whereas the textbook will go straight to the ground. Since the textbook has more mass and less ways of it being able to 'glide' the textbook will hit the ground first.
Answer:
The temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%
Explanation:
In first case we have given efficiency of Carnot engine = 26 % = 0.26
Temperature of cold reservoir 
We know that efficiency of Carnot engine is given by



For second Carnot engine efficiency is given as 35% = 0.35
And temperature of hot reservoir is same so 
So 

So the temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%
Answer:
The maximum height the box will reach is 1.72 m
Explanation:
F = k·x
Where
F = Force of the spring
k = The spring constant = 300 N/m
x = Spring compression or stretch = 0.15 m
Therefore the force, F of the spring = 300 N/m×0.15 m = 45 N
Mass of box = 0.2 kg
Work, W, done by the spring =
and the kinetic energy gained by the box is given by KE = 
Since work done by the spring = kinetic energy gained by the box we have
=
therefore we have v =
=
=
= 5.81 m/s
Therefore the maximum height is given by
v² = 2·g·h or h =
=
= 1.72 m
