Answer:
610 meters.
Explanation:
Because Jim released the accelerator, the truck started to slow down, so the friction force will eventually stop the truck.
the kinetic energy of the truck just after Jim released the pedal is:

The work done by the friction force is given by:

Answer:
the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the box, m = 8.0 kg
final speed of the box, v = 10 m/s
Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the energy of the spring at the start;
Final Kinetic energy of the box = initial elastic potential energy of the spring
K.E = Ux
¹/₂mv² = Ux
¹/₂ x 8 x 10² = Ux
400 J = Ux
Therefore, the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.
efficiency = (useful energy transferred ÷ energy supplied) × 100
It's easy to use this formula, but we have to know both the useful energy and the energy supplied. The drawing doesn't tell us the useful energy, so we have to find a clever way to figure it out. I see two ways to do it:
<u>Way #1:</u>
We all know about the law of conservation of energy. So we know that the total energy coming out must be 250J, because that's how much energy is going in. The wasted energy is 75J, so the rest of the 250J must be the useful energy . . . (250J - 75J) = 175J useful energy.
(useful energy) / (energy supplied) = (175J) / (250J) = <em>70% efficiency</em>
================================
<u>Way #2: </u>
How much of the energy is wasted ? . . . 75J wasted
What percentage of the Input is that 75J ? . . . 75/250 = 30% wasted
30% of the input energy is wasted. That leaves the other <em>70%</em> to be useful energy.
