Answer:
net force
Explanation:
Net force felt by an object.
Answer:
T1 = 131.4 [N]
T2 = 261 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must make a sketch of how will be the semicircle, for this reason we conducted an internet search, to find the scheme of the problem. This scheme is attached in the first image.
Then we make a free body diagram, with this free body diagram, we raise the forces that act on the body. Since it is a problem involving static equilibrium, the sum of forces in any direction and moments must be equal to zero.
By performing a sum of forces on the Y axis equal to zero we can find an equation that relates the forces of tension T1 & T2.
The second equation can be determined by summing moments equal to zero, around the point of application of the T1 force. In this way we find the T2 force.
The value of T2, is replaced in the first equation and we can find the value for T1.
Therefore
T1 = 131.4 [N]
T2 = 261 [N]
The free body diagram and the developed equations can be seen in the second attached image.
(a) Zero
The maximum efficiency (Carnot efficiency) of a heat engine is given by

where
is the low-temperature reservoir
is the high-temperature reservoir
For the heat engine in the problem, we have:


Therefore, the maximum efficiency is

(b) Zero
The efficiency of a heat engine can also be rewritten as

where
W is the work performed by the engine
is the heat absorbed from the high-temperature reservoir
In this problem, we know

Therefore, since the term
cannot be equal to infinity, the numerator of the fraction must be zero as well, which means
W = 0
So the engine cannot perform any work.
Answer:
1. In a coal-fired power plant, chemical energy is first converted to thermal energy. TRUE.
The chemical energy in the coal is converted to thermal energy when the coal is burnt to produce steam.
2. In a coal-fired power plant, approximately 2/5 of original energy in the coal is lost to heat. FALSE.
Approximately 3/5 of the original energy is lost not 2/5 so this statement is false.
3. The molecules in cold air move faster than in hot air. FALSE.
Molecules with more heat move faster than molecules with less. Molecules in cold air therefore, will move slower than molecules in hot air.
