Answer:
Light waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave, while sound waves carry energy perpendicular to it. Sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave, while light waves carry energy perpendicular to it.

Answer:
A. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs
B. The initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2
Distance (s) = 256ft
Final velocity (V) = 0
Time (t) =?
Initial velocity (U) =?
A. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.
Let us obtain an express for time (t)
Acceleration (a) = Velocity (V)/time(t)
a = V/t
Velocity (V) = distance (s) /time (t)
V = s/t
a = s/t^2
Cross multiply
a x t^2 = s
Divide both side by a
t^2 = s/a
Take the square root of both side
t = √(s/a)
Now we can obtain the time as follow
Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2
Distance (s) = 256ft
Time (t) =..?
t = √(s/a)
t = √(256/26)
t = 3.14 secs
Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs
B. Determination of the initial speed of the car.
V = U + at
Final velocity (V) = 0
Deceleration (a) = –26ft/s2
Time (t) = 3.14 sec
Initial velocity (U) =.?
0 = U – 26x3.14
0 = U – 81.64
Collect like terms
U = 81.64 ft/s
Therefore, the initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s
Answer:
the claim is not valid or reasonable.
Explanation:
In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:
η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂
where,
η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?
T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K
T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K
Therefore,
η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K
η(max) = 0.25 = 25%
Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:
η = W/Q
where,
W = Net Work = 250 KJ
Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ
Therefore,
η = 250 KJ/750 KJ
η = 0.333 = 33.3 %
η > η(max)
The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.
<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>
