It increases the momentum change of the driver. It shortens the stopping time of the driver and increases the force applied during the accident. It lengthens the stopping time of the driver and reduces the force applied during the accident.arrow_forward4. Describe each of the three methods of heat transfer, in your own words.

- 1.The quality of heat is independent of its temperature. We note that the quality of energy means the availability of work. A.(True) B.(Fale)arrow_forwardWhich of the following statement(s) is(are) correct? Thermal energy with some effort, can only be partially converted to mechanical energy. If a system's work is positive, work is done to the system; work done by the system is negative. N. For a closed system operating adiabatically, work is obtained from the direct conversion of internal energy of the fluid to work. Work or mechanical energy can spontaneously be converted to heat.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a true statement about heat transfer? a. Whenever the temperature of something changes, a transfer of heat has occurred. b. Conduction is the transfer of heat by infrared rays. c. Light bulbs are examples of heat transfer by radiation. d.
