One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles (9.5 trillion km)

explanation: To find the distance of a light-year, you multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year (8,766).

A chair is at rest on the floor. The chair absorbs thermal energy from the floor, and begins moving spontaneously with kinetic e
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

D- Only the 2nd law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

It violates 2nd law because according to 2nd law of thermodynamics, it is impossible that the sole result of a process is is to absorb energy and do equivalent amount of work. so some heat must lose to surrounding which is not specified here. so it violates 2nd law.

so option D is correct

A person pulls a box across a floor. Which is the correct analysis of the situation? A. The box moves forward because the person
vekshin1

Answer:

D. The person's force on the box is as strong as the force of the box on the person, but the frictional force on the person is forward and large while the backward frictional force on the box is small.

Explanation:

When a bag is pulled, then it involves a person’s force on the box meaning there is an opposite force which is equal to the force of the box on the person.

When the box is pulled, there is a forward frictional force on the person which is big when compared to the backward frictional force which is small. This positive difference is responsible for the movement of the box.

In which of those three situations is the magnitude of the car's acceleration the largest? In which of those three situations is
frutty [35]

Answer:

70 mph in only 168 feet is the largest

Explanation:

In which of those three situations is the magnitude of the car's acceleration the largest? In which of those three situations is the magnitude of the car's acceleration the largest? cornering at 0.85g reaching 60 mph in 5 seconds flat stopping from 70 mph in only 168 feet not enough information to determine

a) convert miles/hour to ft/seconds

60mph  

1 mile=5280ft

1hr=3600secs

= 60 * 5280 / 3600 ft/s

=> acceleration

acceleration is the rate of change in velocity

= [60 * 5280 / 3600] / 5 ft/s^2

= 264/15 ft/s^2

= 264/(15 * 32) g  

= 0.55 g

magnitude of acceleration in case 2  

= 0.85 g

magnitude of acceleration in case 3

recall from v^{2} =u^{2}+2as

u=0

v^2/2s=a

velocity , a=acceleration

s=distance covered

= (70 * 5280 / 3600)^2 / (2 * 168 * 32) g

= 0.98 g

=> largest magnitude of acceleration = 0.98 g in case 3  

and smallest magnitude of acceleration = 0.55 g in case 1.
