By calculating thermal efficiency, the input energy is 10,000 joule.

We need to know about the thermal efficiency to solve this problem. Thermal efficiency is the ratio of work done by the machine to input energy. It can be determined as

η = W / Qinp

where η is thermal efficiency, W is work and Qinp is input energy.

From the question above, we know that:

η = 40%

W = 400 J

By substituting the following parameter, we get

η = W / Qinp

40% = 400 / Qinp

Qinp = 400 x 100/40

Qinp = 10,000 joule

Hence, the input energy of a car engine is 10,000 joule.

If frequency is kept constant, how are the velocity and wavelength of a wave related?
Elan Coil [88]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Velocity and wavelength are directly proportional when frequency is kept constant.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations made by a given wave in one second. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Wavelength on the other hand, is the distance between two successful crests or troughs in a transverse wave or two successful rarefactions or compressions in a longitudinal waves.</u></em>
  • <em><u>The speed of a wave is given by the product of the frequency of a wave and the wavelength.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Speed = Frequency × wavelength, </u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, if frequency is kept constant, then the speed of a wave is directly proportional to the wavelength, such that an increase in wavelength increases the speed of the wave and vice versa.</u></em>

Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Dovator [93]
It's a bit of a trick question, had the same one on my homework. You're given an electric field strength (1*10^5 N/C for mine), a drag force (7.25*10^-11 N) and the critical info is that it's moving with constant velocity(the particle is in equilibrium/not accelerating). 
<span>All you need is F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>Just set F=the drag force and the electric field strength is (K*Q2)/r^2, plugging those values in gives you </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>

Which of the following choices defines energy in scientific terms?
snow_tiger [21]
1) B. Energy is the ability to do work

2) C. Energy is conserved, it just goes from one form to another.

3) Work = Force x displacement
= 300 x 100 = 30,000 Joules

4) leaning a brick because no displacement is taking place.

5) They change the amount/strength or direction of the force needed.

6) Less force is needed and applied over a longer distance.

7) Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another.
