Một tàu điện, sau khi xuất phát chuyển động với gia tốc không đổi a = 0,5 m/s2. 12 giây sau khi bắt đầu chuyển động, người ta tắt động cơ của tàu điện và tàu chuyển động chậm dần đều cho tới khi dừng hẳn. Trên toàn bộ quãng đường, hệ số ma sát bằng k = 0,01. Tìm: a) Vận tốc lớn nhất của tàu. b) Gia tốc của tàu trong giai đoạn chuyển động chậm dần đều. c) Thời gian kể từ lúc tàu xuất phát cho tới khi tàu dừng hẳn. d) Tổng quãng đường mà tàu đã đi được.

An electric current is flowing through the cord below. what will happen to this current if a magnet is brought near the cord? a. the electric current will stop flowing. b. it will exert a force on the voltage. c. the resistance of the wire will decrease. d. it will exert a force on the electric current.

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

Atruck driver is attempting to deliver some furniture. first, he travels 8 km east, and then he turns around and travels 3 km west. finally, he turns again and travels 13 km to his destination. what is the drivers total displacement?
