Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given, 1,152 British thermal units

1 British thermal unit = 1055.06 joules

So, in 1,152 British thermal units there will be :

$1152\times 1055.06 Joules=1215429.12 Joules=1.21542912\times 10^{8} Joules$

Hence, from the given options the closest answer is of option (d). So, option (d) is correct.

In order to answer this question, you have to know ... or find out ...
how many joules there are in one BTU, or how many BTU there are
in one joule.

I don't know those numbers. It's pretty easy to find them in a few seconds,
by searching on-line. You could easily do that. But since I'm going to take
your points, you can just relax, and I'll go and look it up for you.

OK. I'm back. I found out that there are 1,055.06 joules in one BTU.

So

(1,152 BTU) x (1,055.06 Joules/BTU) = 1,215,429.12 joules

Here we can use the work energy theorem

$W_f + W_s = K_f - K_i$

here we know that

$K_f = 0$

as it come to rest finally

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}\times 1\times 2^2$

$K_i = 2 J$

now work done by friction force will be given as

$W_f = - F_f \times d = -\mu mg d$

$W_f = - \mu(1)(9.8)(0.10) = - 0.98\mu$

Work done by spring force is given as

$W_s = \frac{1}{2}k(x_i^2 - x_f^2)$

$W_s = \frac{1}{2}(10)( 0 - 0.10^2)$

$W_s = -0.05 J$

so now plug in all data above

$- 0.05 - \mu(0.98) = 0 - 2$

$\mu = 1.99$

so above is the friction coefficient

A car accelerates from rest at -3.00m/s^2. What is the velocity at the end of 5.0s? What is the displacement after5.0s?

Andrew [12]

Speed = (acceleration) x (time)
Velocity = (speed) in (direction of the speed)

Speed = (-3 m/s²) x (5 s) = 15 m/s
Velocity =
   (15 m/s) in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive.

Displacement = (distance between start-point and end-point)
   in the direction from start-point to end-point.

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)²
Distance = (1/2) (3 m/s²) (5 s)²
   = (1/2) (3 m/s²) (25 s²) = 37.5 meters

Displacement =
   37.5 meters in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive.

At a place where an object is thrown vertically downward with a speed of while a different object is thrown vertically upward wi

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Both objects will undergo the same change in velocity

Explanation:

m = Mass of the Earth = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of object

Any object which is falling has only the acceleration due to gravity.

$ma=\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.81364\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.81364 m/s²

So, the speeds of the objects will change at an equal rate of 9.81364 m/s² but the change will be negative when an object is thrown up.

Hence, both objects will undergo the same change in velocity.
