The temperature of a plastic cube is monitored while the cube is pushed 8.6 m across a floor at constant speed by a horizontal force of 19 N. The monitoring reveals that the thermal energy of the cube increases by 120 J. What is the increase in the thermal energy of the floor along which the cube slides

43.4J

Explanation:

We know that

Work done = total heat energy

But work done is force x distance

=> F = 19 x8.6 = 163.4 J

So the total heat. Will be Heat of cube + heat of floor = 163.4J

So that heat of floor will now be

floor = 163.4 J - 120 J = 43.4 Joules

Explanation:

which piece of furniture will have the most inertia and give the furniture movers the most difficulty in moving?  

answer

a 75kg dining table

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
