<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds in the pit stop.
Here final velocity 
initial velocity
distance
Distance covered in the slowing down phase = 







The car is in the pit stop for 5s 
After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s





total time= 
Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by 
Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time=
Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes and Thunderbird
= 
Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.
Answer:
a)
, b) 
Explanation:
a) According to the First Law of Thermodinamics, the system is not reporting any work, mass or heat interactions. Besides, let consider that such box is rigid and, therefore, heat contained inside is the consequence of internal energy.

The internal energy for a monoatomic ideal gas is:

Let assume that cubical box contains just one kilomole of monoatomic gas. Then, the temperature is determined from the Equation of State for Ideal Gases:



The thermal energy contained by the gas is:


b) The physical model for the cat is constructed from Work-Energy Theorem:

The speed of the cat is obtained by isolating the respective variable and the replacement of every known variable by numerical values:



The best answer is C) total mass of the team.
In tug of war, the mass of each team is a critical factor in determining which side wins. The team with greater mass will require greater force to move, and also is likely able to exert greater force on the other team due to the correlation between strength and mass.
