Answer:

acceleration or a deceleration

Explanation:

The gradient of a position - time graph represent the velocity.

a straight line indicate a constant velocity (gradient ≠ 0)

when it is a parallel line to the time axis , it indicated no movement

when it is a curved line it indicates a changing velocity (either acceleration or a deceleration) as mentioned in the graph

Driving on asphalt roads entails very little rolling resistance, so most of the energy of the engine goes to overcoming air resi

Bad White [126]

A) Agreed.
b) Value agreed but units should be W (watts). 

c) Here's one method... 

15 miles = 24140 m 

1 gallon of gasoline contains 1.4×10⁸ J. 

So moving a distance of 24140m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸ J 

Therefore moving a distance of 1m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸/24140 = 5800 J 

Overcoming rolling resitance for 1m requires (useful) work = force x distance = 1000x1 = 1000J 

So 5800J (in the gasoline) provides 1000J (overcoming rolling resistance) of useful work for each metre moved. 

Efficiency = useful work/total energy supplied 
= 1000/5800 
= 0.17 (=17%)

A ball is dropped from an upper floor, some unknown distance above your apartment. As you look out of your window, which is 1.50

laila [671]

Answer:

The ball is dropped at a height of 9.71 m above the top of the window.

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the window=1.5 m
Time taken by ball to cover the window height=0.15

Now using equation of motion in one dimension we have

$s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}$

Let u be the velocity of the ball when it reaches the top of the window

then

$1.5=0.15u+\dfrac{9.8\times0.15^2}{2}\\u=3.96\ \rm m/s\\$

Now u is the final velocity of the ball with respect to the top of the building

so let t be the time taken for it to reach the top of the window with this velocity

$3.96=gt\\t=0.4\ \rm s\\$

Let h be the height above the top of the window

$h=\dfrac{gt^2}{2}\\\\h=\dfrac{9.8\times 0.4^2}{2}\\h=9.71\ \rm m$

During a total lunar eclipse, where is the Moon located?

krok68 [10]

During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon located in the umbra. The answer is letter A. For a total lunar eclipse to occur, the Sun, Earth and Moon must be aligned in a straight line. The Earth’s umbra complete covers the Moon. The earth’s umbra is about 870,000 miles wide.
