A man pushes a couch across the room is the answer!
Answer:
(a) a = - 201.8 m/s²
(b) s = 197.77 m
Explanation:
(a)
The acceleration can be found by using 1st equation of motion:
Vf = Vi + at
a = (Vf - Vi)/t
where,
a = acceleration = ?
Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since it is finally brought to rest)
Vi = Initial Velocity = (632 mi/h)(1609.34 m/ 1 mi)(1 h/ 3600 s) = 282.53 m/s
t = time = 1.4 s
Therefore,
a = (0 m/s - 282.53 m/s)/1.4 s
<u>a = - 201.8 m/s²</u>
<u></u>
(b)
For the distance traveled, we can use 2nd equation of motion:
s = Vi t + (0.5)at²
where,
s = distance traveled = ?
Therefore,
s = (282.53 m/s)(1.4 s) + (0.5)(- 201.8 m/s²)(1.4 s)²
s = 395.54 m - 197.77 m
<u>s = 197.77 m</u>
According to the Hooke’s law formula, the force is proportional to the displacement of the spring. <em>(C) </em>
Nope, I disagree with the former answer. The answer is definitely Z. <u>W area</u> (boxed with red outline) is represented as the hot reservoir while <u>Z area</u> is the cold reservoir (boxed with blue outline). X area is the heat engine itself and Y area is the work produced from thermal energy from hot reservoir. Typically, all heat engines lose some heat to the environment (based from the second law of thermodynamics) that is symbolically illustrated by the lost energy in the cold reservoir. This lost thermal energy is basically the unusable thermal energy. The higher thermal energy lost, the less efficient your heat engine is.
