Answer:29.627 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of life preserver(u) is 1.6 m/s

it takes 2.3 s to reach the water

using equation of motion

v=u+at

v=1.6+9.81\times 2.3

v=24.163 m/s

Let s be the height of life preserver

v^2-u^2=2gs

24.163^2-1.6^2=2\times 9.81\times s

s=\frac{581.29}{2\times 9.81}

s=29.627 m

Gasoline burns in the cylinder of an automobile engine. During the combustion reaction, the production of gas forces the piston
serg [7]

Answer:

\Delta U = 1640 J

Explanation:

As we know by first law of thermodynamics that for ideal gas system we have

Heat given = change in internal energy + Work done

so here we will have

Heat given to the system = 2.2 kJ

Q = 2200 J

also we know that work done by the system is given as

W = 560 J

so we have

\Delta U = Q - W

\Delta U = 2200 - 560

\Delta U = 1640 J

scientific endeavor should only be pursued after known tradeoffs associated with the research have been considered. True or Fals
AfilCa [17]
This is false. There were many times in history when people discovered something that they didn't even know was possible or didn't even plan to discover it. Knowing tradeoffs doesn't mean that something won't surprise you or that all will go according to plan.
