Answer:

3600km

Explanation:

gravitational constant is the gravitational attraction between any two things

G = gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

g = acceleration due to gravity = 4 m/s²

M = mass of the earth = 6 × 10²⁴

r = radius of Earth + height of meteor

Since F = mg and F = GMm/r², mg = GMm/r²

g = GM/r²

r² = GM/g

r = √(GM/g)

r = √((6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²) × (6 × 10²⁴ kg))/(4 m/s²)) =

1 × 10⁷ m = 1 × 10⁴ km

To calculate the height of the meteor above the earth,

subtract the radius of the earth from the calculated radius.

height of meteor = 1 × 10⁴ km - 6 × 10³ km = 4 × 10³ km

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>
