Your car's engine is a heat engine; it converts the thermal energy from burning fuel into energy to move your car and power its

systems. On a cold winter day, you needn't feel guilty about cranking up the heat in your car; running the heater doesn't cost any additional energy beyond the small amount needed to run the fan. Explain why this is so.

Answer:

Explanation:

The efficiency of the heat engine is less than 100%. The heat engine converts the thermal energy from the burning of fuel to the mechanival energy. Thus, some of the energy gets lost as waste heat.

Hence, this waste heat is used up to heat up the interior of the car and person feels warmer in the car.

Thus, the waste heat generated in the engine is used for the heating of the car interior.

A marble is dropped from rest and falls for 2.3 seconds. Find its final velocity.
juin [17]

Answer:

23 m/s downward

__________________________________________________________

<em>Taking the downward direction as positive</em>

<u>We are given:</u>

Initial velocity of the marble (u) = 0 m/s

Time interval (t) = 2.3 seconds

Final velocity (v) = x m/s

<u>Solving for the Final velocity:</u>

<u>Acceleration of the Marble:</u>

We know that gravity will make the marble accelerate at a constant acceleration of 10 m/s

<u>Final velocity:</u>

v = u + at                                              [First equation of motion]

x = 0 + (10)(2.3)                                    [replacing the given values]

x = 23 m/s

Hence, after 2.3 seconds, the marble will move at a velocity of 23 m/s in the downward direction

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc
kumpel [21]

Answer:\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}

Explanation:

Given

car A had a head start of D_A

and it starts at x=0 and t=0

Car B has to travel a distance of D_A and d_a

where d_a is the distance travel by car A in time t

distance travel by car A is

d_a=v_A\times t

For car B with  speed v_B

d_B=D_A+d_a

v_B\times t=D_A+v_A\times t

t=\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}

What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 113m in 29s?
Elza [17]
In this item, we are asked to determine the speed of the bobsled given the distance traveled and the time it takes to cover the certain distance. This can mathematically be expressed as,
                          speed = distance / time

Substituting the given values in this item,
                         speed = (113 m) / (29 s)
                         speed = 3.90 m/s

<em>ANSWER: 3.90 m/s</em>
