I am attaching a file with the solution and explanation as the number character limit is exceeding.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) The additional time required for the truck to stop is <u>8.5 seconds</u>
b) The additional distance traveled by the truck is <u>230.05 ft</u>
Explanation:
Since the acceleration is constant, the average speed is:
(final speed - initial speed) / 2 = 0.75 v0
Since travelling at this speed for 8.5 seconds causes the vehicle to travel 690 ft, we can solve for v0:
0.75v0 * 8.5 = 690
v0 = 108.24 ft/s
The speed after 8.5 seconds is: 108.24 / 2 = 54.12 ft/s
We can now use the following equation to solve for acceleration:
a = -6.367 m/s^2
Additional time taken to decelerate: 54.12/6.367 = 8.5 seconds
Total distance traveled:
0 - 108.24^2 = 2 * (-6.367) * s
solving for s we get total distance traveled = 920.05 ft
Additional Distance Traveled: 920.05 - 690 = 230.05 ft
Answer:
a). TRUE
Explanation:
Thermal efficiency of a system is the defined as the ratio of the net work done to the total heat input to the system. It is a dimensionless quantity.
Mathematically, thermal efficiency is
η = net work done / heat input
While heat rate is the reciprocal of efficiency. It is defined as the ratio of heat supplied to the system to the useful work done.
Mathematically, heat rate is
Heat rate = heat input / net work done
Thus from above we can see that heat rate is the reciprocal of thermal efficiency.
Thus, Heat rate is reciprocal of thermal efficiency.
