Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.
Answer:
a) There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
b) 
Explanation:
a) We have the conversion
1 m = 100 cm
So there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
b) 1 inch = 2.54 cm


21) Acceleration from D to E: 
22) The acceleration of the bus from D to E is 
Explanation:
21)
The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity of the object. Mathematically:

where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
t is the time elapsed
In this problem, we want to measure the acceleration of the bus from point D to point E. We have:
- Initial velocity at point D: u = 0
- Final velocity at point E: v = 5 m/s
- Time elapsed from D to E: t = 21 - 16 = 5 s
Therefore, the acceleration between D and E is

22) This question is the same as 21), so the result is the same.

The glowing beam was repelled by a negatively charged plate because they were negatively charged
<h3>What are the nature of charges?</h3>
The nature of charges refers to the properties of charges.
There are two types of charges:
- negative charges
- positive charges
The law of electricity states that opposite charges attract whereas like charges repel.
Therefor, in Thomson’s experiment, the glowing beam was repelled by a negatively charged plate because they were negatively charged
In conclusion, like charges repel while opposite charges attract.
