 <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>

What electric field strength would store 12.5 JJ of energy in every 6.00 mm3mm3 of space?
Tcecarenko [31]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the potential energy per unit volume for which we will obtain an energy density relationship that can be related to the electric field. From this formula it will be possible to find the electric field required in the problem. Our values are given as

The potential energy,  U = 13.0 J

The volume,  V = 6.00 mm^3 = 6.00*10^{-9}m^3

The potential energy per unit volume is defined as the energy density.

u = \frac{U}{V}

u= \frac{(13.0 J)}{(6.00*10^{-9} m^3)}

u= 2.167109 J/m^3

The energy density related with electric field is given by

u = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E^2

Here, the permitivity of the free space is

\epsilon_0 = 8.85*10^-{12} C^2/N \cdot m^2

Therefore, rerranging to find the electric field strength we have,

E = \sqrt{\frac{2u}{\epsilon_0}}

E = \sqrt{\frac{2(2.167109)}{8.85*10^{-12}}}

E = 2.211010 V/m

Therefore the electric field is 2.21V/m

A Carnot heat engine uses a hot reservoir consisting of a large amount of boiling water and a cold reservoir consisting of a lar
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

W= 4.89 KJ

Explanation:

Lets take

temperature of hot water T₁ = 100⁰C

T₁ = 373 K

Temperature of cold ice T₂= 0⁰C

T₂ = 273 K

The latent heat of ice LH= 334 KJ

The heat rejected by the engine Q= m .LH

Q₂= 0.04 x 334

Q₂= 13.36 KJ

Heat gain by engine = Q₁

For Carnot engine

Q_1=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}Q_2

Q_1=\dfrac{373}{273}\times 13.36

Q₁  = 18.25 KJ

The work W= Q₁  - Q₂

W= 18.25 - 13.36 KJ

W= 4.89 KJ

What is the formula for conservation of momentum
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The general equation for conservation of momentum during a collision between n number of objects is given as: [m i ×v i a ] = [m i ×v i b ] Where m i is the mass of object i , v i a is the velocity of object i before the collision, and v i b is the velocity of object i after the collision.
