An object moves in the eastward direction at constant speed. A net force directed northward acts on the object for 5.0 s. At the end of the 5.0-second period, the net force drops to zero newtons. Which one of the following statements is necessarily true?

A. The direction of the object's acceleration depends on how fast the object was initially moving.
B. The magnitude of the object's acceleration depends on how fast the object was initially moving.
C. The object will be moving eastward when the force drops to zero newtons.
D. The final velocity of the object will be directed north of east.
E. The change in the velocity of the object will be directed north of west.

Ahot-air balloon is drifting straight downward with a constant speed of 2.40 m/s. when the balloon is 7.63 m above the ground, the balloonist decides to drop one of the ballast sandbags to the ground below. how much time elapses before the sandbag hits the ground?

An internally reversible refrigerator has a modified coefficient of performance accounting for realistic heat transfer processes of where qin is the refrigerator cooling rate, qout is the heat rejection rate, and is the power input. show that copm can be expressed in terms of the reservoir temperatures tc and th, the cold and hot thermal resistances rt, c and rt, h, and qin, as where rtot rt, c rt, h. also, show that the power input may be expressed as 1.39 a household refrigerator operates with cold- and hot-temperature reservoirs of tc 5 c and th 25 c, respectively. when new, the cold and hot side resistances are rc, n 0.05 k/w and rh, n 0.04 k/w, respectively. over time, dust accumulates on the refrigerator’s condenser coil, which is located behind the refrigerator, increasing the hot side resistance to rh, d 0.1 k/w. it is desired to have a refrigerator cooling rate of qin 750 w. using the results of problem 1.38, determine the modified coefficient of performance and the required power input w under (a) clean and (b) dusty coil conditions. internally reversible refrigerator qout qin w high-temperature reservoir low-temperature reservoir th th, i tc, i tc high-temperature side resistance low-temperature side resistance w qin th tc qinrtot tc qinrtot copm tc qinrtot th tc
