The efficiency of a carnot engine is more when the temperature of the sink is increased by 50% is 33.33%

<h3>What is Efficiency?</h3>

The efficiency is defined as the work done by the engine divided by the heat supplied.

Work done is the difference between the heat supplied and heat rejected.

So, efficiency η = 1 - T₁/T₂

Where T₁ is the lower temperature and T₂ is the higher temperature.

The temperature of the sink is increased by 50%. If the lower temperature is T₁, then the higher temperature will be 1.50T₁

Substitute the value into the expression , we get

η = 1 - T₁ / 1.5T₁ x 100 %

η = 33.33 %

Thus, the efficiency of the carnot engine is 33.33 %

In his novel From the Earth to the Moon (1866), Jules Verne describes a spaceship that is blasted out of 12,000 yards/s. the Col
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that spaceship is accelerated uniformly. A yard equals 0.914 meters. A feet equals 0.304 meters. If air viscosity and friction can be neglected, then acceleration (a), measured in meters per square second, is estimated by this kinematic formula:

a = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \Delta s } (1)

Where:

\Delta s - Travelled distance, measured in meters.

v_{o}, v - Initial and final speeds of the spaceship, measured in meters.

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 10968\,\frac{m}{s} and \Delta s = 212.8\,m, then the acceleration experimented by the spaceship is:

a = \frac{\left(10968\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot (212.8\,m)}

a = 282652.782\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.

What is the time constant of a 9.0-nm-thick membrane surrounding a 0.040-mm-diameter spherical cell? Assume the resistivity of t
yawa3891 [41]

Given Information:

Diameter of spherical cell = 0.040 mm

thickness = L = 9 nm

Resistivity =  ρ = 3.6×10⁷ Ω⋅m

Dielectric constant = k = 9.0

Required Information:

time constant = τ = ?

Answer:

time constant = 2.87×10⁻³ seconds

Explanation:

The time constant is given by

τ = RC

Where R is the resistance and C is the capacitance.

We know that resistivity of of any material is given by

ρ = RA/L

R =  ρL/A

Where area of spherical cell is given by

A = 4πr²

A = 4π(d/2)²

A = 4π(0.040×10⁻³/2)²

A = 5.026×10⁻⁹ m²

The resistance becomes

R =  (3.6×10⁷*9×10⁻⁹)/5.026×10⁻⁹

R = 6.45×10⁷ Ω

The capacitance of the cell membrane is given by

C = kεoA/L

Where k = 9 is the dielectric constant and εo = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m

C = (9*8.854×10⁻¹²*5.026×10⁻⁹)/9×10⁻⁹

C = 44.5 pF

C = 44.5×10⁻¹² F

Therefore, the time constant is

τ = RC

τ = 6.45×10⁷*44.5×10⁻¹²

τ = 2.87×10⁻³ seconds

A spring with spring constant 450 N/m is stretched by 12 cm. What distance is required to double the amount of potential energy
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<em> The distance required = 16.97 cm</em>

Explanation:

Hook's Law

From Hook's law, the potential energy stored in a stretched spring

E = 1/2ke² ......................... Equation 1

making e the subject of the equation,

e = √(2E/k)........................ Equation 2

Where E = potential Energy of the stretched spring, k = elastic constant of the spring, e = extension.

Given: k = 450 N/m, e = 12 cm = 0.12 m.

E = 1/2(450)(0.12)²

E = 225(0.12)²

E = 3.24 J.

When the potential energy is doubled,

I.e E = 2×3.24

E = 6.48 J.

Substituting into equation 2,

e = √(2×6.48/450)

e = √0.0288

e = 0.1697 m

<em>e = 16.97 cm</em>

<em>Thus the distance required = 16.97 cm</em>
