This question can be solved using the concept of friction energy.
The thermal energy change is b "258.4 J".
The change in thermal energy will be equal to the friction energy produced during the motion of the box.
where,
μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4
f = force applied = 38 N
d = distance traveled by the box = 17 m
Therefore,
<u>E = 258.4 J</u>

Complete Question
In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?
Answer:
The speed of the helicopter is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height at which he let go of the brief case is h = 130 m
The time taken before the the brief case hits the water is t = 6 s
Generally the initial speed of the briefcase (Which also the speed of the helicopter )before the man let go of it is mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as
Here s is the distance covered by the bag at sea level which is zero

Answer:
1497×10⁵ km
Explanation:
Speed of light in vacuum = 3×10⁵ km/s
Time taken by the light of the Sun to reach the Earth = 8 min and 19 s
Converting to seconds we get
8×60+19 = 499 seconds
Distance = Speed × Time
1 AU = 1497×10⁵ km
The Sun is 1497×10⁵ km from Earth
