The first law is about force or push and pull
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.
88% of x = 0.88 x
0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.
heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x
efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %
When acceleration is constant, the average velocity is given by
where 
and 
are the final and initial velocities, respectively. By definition, we also have that the average velocity is given by
where 
are the final/initial displacements, and 
are the final/initial times, respectively.
Take the car's starting position to be at 
. Then
So we have
You also could have first found the acceleration using the equation
then solve for 
via
but that would have involved a bit more work, and it turns out we didn't need to know the precise value of 
anyway.
