One of the major effects of heat transfer is temperature change: heating increases the temperature while cooling decreases it. We assume that there is no phase change and that no work is done on or by the system. Experiments show that the transferred heat depends on three factors—the change in temperature, the mass of the system, and the substance and phase of the substance.
Figure a shows a copper-colored cylinder of mass m and temperature change delta T. The heat Q, shown as a wavy rightward horizontal arrow, is transferred to the cylinder from the left. To the right of this image is a similar image, except that the heat transferred Q prime is twice the heat Q. The temperature change of this second cylinder, which is also labeled m, is two delta T. This cylinder is surrounded by small black wavy lines radiating outward. Figure b shows the same two cylinders as in Figure a. The left cylinder is labeled m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing at it from the left that is labeled Q. The right cylinder is labeled two m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing to it from the left labeled Q prime equals two Q. Figure c shows the same copper cylinder of mass m and with temperature change delta T, with heat Q being transferred to it. To the right of this cylinder, Q prime equals ten point eight times Q is being transferred to another cylinder filled with water whose mass and change in temperature are the same as that of the copper cylinder.
Answer:
23 mi
Explanation:
Let us first record all the values we have
acceleration = 4 ft/s
max speed = 90 mi/hr * 1 hr/3600s * 5280 ft/1 mi = 132 ft/s
We can use the equation of linear motion since acceleration is constant
distance covered = distance during acceleration + distance during costant
velocity
distance in miles = 120 978 ft * 1 mi/5280 ft = 22.9125 mi ≈ 23 mi
Any change in speed or direction of motion is acceleration.
Constant acceleration can mean ...
-- speeding up at a constant rate . . . gaining the same amount
of speed each second.
-- slowing down at a constant rate . . . losing the same amount
of speed each second.
-- changing direction at a constant rate . . . for example, going
around a circular path at a constant speed.
