Answer:

C.

Explanation:

A person pushing a couch will face resistive force of friction . When resistive force is greater then his force of effort , couch will not move. This force is static friction because the couch is stationary. When the force of effort is increased , magnitude of static friction also increases keeping the couch stationary. The ability of the static friction to increase its magnitude is limited by a maximum value beyond which the couch starts moving. The static friction is then converted into kinetic friction.

In rest of the three cases object is already moving so kinetic friction is in action.

Suppose Joe, who can type 40 words per minute, takes 2.5 hours to type his report. To speed things up, his friend Mark offers to
Vika [28.1K]

Explanation:

When Joe works alone, the total number  of words he typed can be given by:

Total words = (40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hour) x (2.5 hours)

Total words = 6000 words

Now, when Joe and Mark work together, let 'y' be the number of hours for which they both work simultaneously:

Total words = Words Typed by Joe + Words Typed by Mark

6000 = {(40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)} + {(20 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)}

6000 = 2400y + 1200y = 3600y

y = 1.67 hours = 1 hour and 40 minutes

Thus, working together simultaneously, Joe and Mark will take 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete the report.

A heat engine exhausts 3 000 J of heat while performing 1 500 J of useful work. What is the efficiency of the engine
amid [387]

efficiency=work output/work input×100

since it exhausts(use up)3000j of heat that's the work input and the 1500j is the work input

efficiency=1500/3000×100

=50%
