Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The difference in temperature when per unit of heat flux is required by one unit of heat flux between a barrier of warmer and colder surface present in steady state condition is known as R-value.

Mathematically,       R-value = \frac{\text{Temperature difference}\times \text{Area}\times \text{Time}}{Heat loss}

Thermal resistance of insulating products or materials can be known with the help of R-value. As more is the r-value of a substance more will be its insulating power.

Therefore, we can conclude that insulating materials are rated by their r-value.

1. Millions of gallons of water are wasted by households in America on a yearly basis as a result of wastage of water in the laundry rooms. There are many ways by which water can be conserved in the laundry room, these include:
1. Using a high efficiency washing machine.
2. Choosing the right load sizes and cycles when using washing machines.
3. Wearing clothes more than once before washing them.
4. Collection of grey and rain water.
5. Treat difficult stains before washing them.

2. Using a high efficiency machine will ensure that water is used efficiently. A high efficiency washing machine uses much less water and save about 6,000 gallons of water for an average family on a yearly basis according to Environmental Protection Agency. 
Grey water refers to water that have used once. Water that has been used for washing clothes or bathing can be collected again, recycle and use for some household needs such as gardening, flushing of toilet, etc. Water tanks can also be installed to collect rain water which can be used for washing clothes. This will have positive effect on household overall water consumption.

Answer:

2.75 m/s^2

Explanation:

The airplane's acceleration on the runway was 2.75 m/s^2

We can find the acceleration by using the equation: a = (v-u)/t

where a is acceleration, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, and t is time.

In this case, v is 71 m/s, u is 0 m/s, and t is 26.1 s Therefore: a = (71-0)/26.1

a = 2.75 m/s^2
