 <span>The maximum possible efficiency, i.e the efficiency of a Carnot engine , is give by the ratio of the absolute temperatures of hot and cold reservoir. 
η_max = 1 - (T_c/T_h) 

For this engine: 
η_max = 1 - [ (20 +273)K/(600 + 273)K ] = 0.66 = 66% 

The actual efficiency of the engine is 30%, i.e. 
η = 0.3 ∙ 0.664 = 0.20 = 20 % 

On the other hand thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done to the amount of heat absorbed from hot reservoir: 
η = W/Q_h 

So the heat required from hot reservoir is: 
Q_h = W/η = 1000J / 0.20 = 5000J</span>

The armature windings of a dc motor have a resistance of 3.0 Ω. The motor is connected to a 120V line, and when the motor reach
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

0.6 A

Explanation:

As the motor gears towards full speed, the voltage of the circuit tends to become the difference that exists between the line voltage and the that of the back emf. Remembering Ohm's law, we then apply it to get the final, lower current that is based on the reduced voltage Ef. We use the provided resistance in the question, that is 3 ohms.

Ef = (120 V) - (117 V) = 3 V

If = Ef/R = (3 V) / (5.0 Ω) = 0.6 A

The question is not well presented.

There is  ______ shift in sound  frequency for observers towards  whom the source is approaching.

Answer:

The  gap should be filled with an apparent upward

Explanation:

The Doppler effect (also referred to as the Doppler shift) is the difference in frequency of a wave when related to an observer who has a relative movement to the wave source

The Doppler effect can be observed to occur with all types of waves - most notably water waves, sound waves, and light waves

The Doppler effect describes sound as an effect which is produced from a moving source of wave.

According to the Doppler effect;

When the source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for observers towards whom the source is approaching.

A sinusoidal wave travels along a string. if the time for a particular point to move from maximum displacement to zero displacem
Lisa [10]
The time it takes for a point to reach 0 displacement from maximum displacement is \frac{\pi}{2} of a cycle. Thus, one period (2\pi) will take T=0.17*4=0.68s.

The frequency is simply f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.68}=1.47Hz.

The speed is given by: v=f\lambda=1.47*1.4 = 2.06m/s
