-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up. Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.
-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology. Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle
still largely coincides with the positions of the Moon.
When looking for distance you multiply speed by time
So 15 x 2 = 30
30 is the distance between his house and school
Well, the acceleration is the difference of speeds divided by the time period.

.
One rev/s is

, so our final result is

.
A heat engine would be less efficient due to many factors
For instance, a heat engine is more efficient when it uses in cold weather because there is a greater temperature difference ( Carnot Efficient )
A heat engine could be less efficient because of friction
Hope it helps I am a beginner
The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:

so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.
