Answer:

The car is decelerating with the magnitude of 0.00416 mi/h².

Or

The car is decelerating with the magnitude of 15 mi/h/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 4.0 sec

Speed = 60.0 mph

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

Where, v = final speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

a= \dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{0-60.0}{4.0\times3600}

a =-0.00416\ mi/h^2

We need to calculate the acceleration  in mi/h/s

a = \dfrac{60.0\ mph}{4.0\ s}

a= -15\ mi/h/s

Negative sign

Hence, The car is decelerating with the magnitude of 0.00416 mi/h².

Or

The car is decelerating with the magnitude of 15 mi/h/s.

We need to apply the following expression

Vf = Vo + a.t

Where a is the acceleration
t is the time it takes to achieve Speed Vf
And Vo the initial speed 

In this problem Vo = 60 miles/hour
Vf =  0 (comes to a stop)
t = 4 seconds 

a = -60 [miles/hours] / 4 [s] = -15 miles/hour/second    (negative as it goes in                                                                                                  the opposite direction)

What is the change in internal energy if 60 J of heat is released from a system and 30 J of work is done on the system? Use U =
k0ka [10]

The change in internal energy of the system is +30 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is given by the equation:

\Delta U = Q -W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if it is absorbed, negative if it is released)

W is the work done by the system (positive if it is done by the system, negative if it is done by the surroundings on the system)

Therefore, in this problem, we have

Q=-60 J (heat released by the system)

W=-30 J (work done on the system)

Therefore, the change in internal energy is

\Delta U = -60 - (-30) = +30 J

Find the sum 5.24 g, 43.261 g, and 7.3458 g. Write your answer with the correct amount of significant figures.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

This is how I do it:

  • 5.24 rounded to one significant figure is 5
  • 43.261 rounded to one significant figure is 40.
  • 7.3458 rounded to one significant figure is 7.
  • 5 + 40 + 7 is 52 g

Hope this helps you.
