26a. Suppose a car travels 111 km at a speed of 34 m/s, and uses 2 gal of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is about 140 MJ/gal.) What is the magnitude of the force exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed

First answer marked as brainiest which is the correct equation describing the first law of thermodynamics? a) when the internal energy of a system changes, it equals the amount of heat added plus the work done. b) when work is done by the piston, it is equal to the heat added plus the change in internal energy of the system. c) when heat is added to the system, it is equal to the amount of work done by the piston plus the change in internal energy of the system.

It is advised not to hold the thermometer by the bulb while reading it

Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. the hot water is to be used when needed. the drawback is that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use, and you can run out of hot water if you use too much. some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. no water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. a typical household shower flow rate is 2.50 gal/min (9.46 l/min ) with the tap water being heated from 51.0 ˚f (10.6 ˚c) to 120 ˚f (48.9 ˚c) by the on-demand heater.what rate of heat input (either electrical of from gas) is required to operate such a unit, assuming that all the heat goes into the water?
