<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>

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}$ (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764$

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

b)

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

$F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}$

you replace the values of all variables:

$a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}$

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.

If the pitched ball was traveling 77 mph before stanton's bat hit it and 120 mph after his bat hit it, by what amount did the sp

Mice21 [21]

here we will use the concept of Newton's III law

as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat

So here we will say

impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

$m_1(v_f - v_i) = m_2(\Delta v)$

given that

$m_1 = 5 ounce$

$m_2 = 32 ounce$

For ball the change in speed will be

$v_f - v_i = (120 - 77)mph$

now from above equation

$5\times (120 - 77) = 32 \times \Delta v$

$\Delta v = 6.72 mph$

so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph
