Answer:

Explanation:

As the poster has noted above in comment, the acceleration for each person will be the same. This is because when they tugon the rope, there will be tension force on the rope pulling the two persons towards each other. The tension force will be the same for them. As they also have equal mass, by Newton's Second Law of Motion, Force = mass * acceleration, their acceleration will be the same.

Answer:

When they pull on the rope, they each slide toward each other. How do their accelerations compare and how far does each person slide before they meet? The force on each will be the same so they will always have the same acceleration -- and, because of that, the same velocity and they will move the same distance.

Why the efficiency of heat engine is always less than 100%​
valina [46]

Answer:

because some waste heat is always produced produced in a heat engine.

Explanation:

the fraction of heat input that is converted to a net work output is a measure of the performance of the heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency.Since the machine does not contain a source of energy ,nor can it store energy ,from this conversation of energy the power output of machine can never be greater than its input,so efficiency can be less than 100%.

Statement A: Area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.
pochemuha

Explanation:

Formula for calculating the area of a  rectangle A = Length *width

For statement A;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²

The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)

For statement B;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²

Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)

Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm²  is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.
