According to Newton, an object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced forceacting upon it. The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object - changing its speed, its direction, or both its speed and direction.
This leads to a paradox known as the Gibbs paradox, after Josiah Willard Gibbs. The paradox allows for the entropy of closed systems to decrease, violating the second law of thermodynamics. A related paradox is the "mixing paradox".
The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 92.96 million mi.
Answer:
120 miles per hour.
Explanation:
We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.
So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.
Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.
So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.
The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus, speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.
So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.
