Cation

Explanation:

An ion that has more protons than electrons is called a cation.

An atom is made up of there fundamental particles.
The proton is the positively charged particle in an atom
Electron is negatively charged
Neutron carry no charges
In a neutral atom the number of protons and electrons are equal.
In an ion, an electron has either been lost or gained.
A cation is a positively charged atom. Here the number of proton is more than that of electrons. In anions, the reverse is the case.

An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temper

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The power output of this engine is $P = 17.5 W$

The the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is $\eta_c = 0.7424$

The actual efficiency of this engine is $\eta _a = 0.46$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the hot reservoir is $T_h = 1250 \ K$

The temperature of the cold reservoir is $T_c = 322 \ K$

The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is $E_h = 1.37 *10^{5} \ J$

The energy exhausts into cold reservoir is $E_c = 7.4 *10^{4} J$

The power output is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{W}{t}$

Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour = 3600 s

W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as

$W = E_h -E_c$

substituting values

$W = 63000 J$

$P = \frac{63000}{3600}$

$P = 17.5 W$

The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as

$\eta_c = 1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}$

$\eta_c = 1 - \frac{322}{1250}$

$\eta_c = 0.7424$

The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as

$\eta _a = \frac{W}{E_h}$

substituting values

$\eta _a = \frac{63000}{1.37*10^{5}}$

$\eta _a = 0.46$

An electrician wraps rubber electrical tape around a copper wire. Since rubber is an insulator, which statement best explains th

yuradex [85]

A) Rubber stops charges from flowing. This protects people by stopping electricity from flowing.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the point of wrapping rubber around the copper wire is that the rubber stops charges from flowing. This prevents people from getting electrical shocks by stopping the flow of electricity.

A rubber is an insulator.
Insulators are substances that prevents the flow of electricity.
The lack free mobile electrons or ions that makes them conductors.
When they are wrapped round a conductor such as copper wire, they will halt the flow of charges.
Copper is a conductor of both heat and electricity. It has free mobile electrons.

Answer the question based on this waveform.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Cannot be determined from the given information

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 24 m/s

Period = 3 seconds

To find the amplitude of the wave;

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.

Hence, the information provided in this exercise isn't sufficient to find the amplitude of the waveform.

However, the given parameters can be used to calculate the frequency and wavelength of the wave.
