An engine manufacturer makes the claim that the engine they have developed will, on each cycle take 100 J of heat out of boiling

water at 100 deg C, do mechanical work of 80J, and exhaust 20 J of heat at 10 deg C. What, if anything, is wrong with this claim? A) An engine would operate by taking in heat at the lower temperature and exhausting heat at the higher temperature, B) There is nothing wrong with this claim because 100J= 20j + 80J, C) The heat exhausted must always be greater than the work done according to the second law of thermodynamics, D) The efficiency of this engine is greater than the ideal Carnot cycle efficiency.

Answer:

Our answer is D

Explanation:

Efficiency = Work Done/Heat Input = 80/80 = 1

So Option D....The efficiency of this engine is greater than the ideal Carnot cycle efficiency

A car travelling at a constant speed of 70km/h passes a stationary police car. The police car immediately goes on the chase acce
Virty [35]

Answer:

18.24 seconds

Explanation:

First you convert the km/h to m/s, 70km/h=(175/9)m/s,85km/h=(425/18)m/s.

You know it took 10 seconds for the police to reach 85 km/h. Calculate the distance that the car is ahead of the police (175/9)*10=1750/9m. Then by divide 1750/9 with 425/18, you will get the value 8.24. Add the 10 seconds with the 8.24 you will get 18.24 sec which is the total time.

A packet is dropped from a stationary helicopter, hovering at a height 'h' from the ground level, reaches the ground in 12s. Cal
Ksju [112]
Use kinematic equations to solve:

1) yf = yo + vo*t + 1/2at²

yf = final height
yo = initial height
vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

yf - yo = vo*t + 1/2at²

yf - yo = h

vo = 0

Thus,

h = 1/2at²

h = 1/2(9.8)(12)² = 705.6 m

2) vf = vo + at

vo = 0

Thus,

vf = at

vf = (9.8)(12) = 117.6 m/s

A falcon can descend with a speed 250 km/h. If a falcon flies at this speed for 2.0 s and then flies a 100 m in 2.5 s, what is t
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

v= s/t

Explanation:

250 km/ h =69.44m/s

S1=2 times 69.44 ≈ 139m

Next 2.5 seconds:

S2 = 100m

Average speed:

v=139m+100m/2s+2.5s = 239/4.5s = 53.2 m/s=192km/h

love history [14]
The history of life in the geologic past as indicated by the imprints or remains of living thing is called FOSSIL RECORD.<span> It is the evolution that unfolded over trillion of years as natural and environmental interacts based on the natural selection. The fossil record is among the most popular evidences of evolution. It shows the way of living, the type of people, the survival struggles of the ancient people in the old times. All these types of remains are recorded that makes up the fossil record. </span>
