In a real machine, the work output is always less than the work input. a. True b. False

1 answer:

4 0

<span>In a real machine, the work output is always less than the work input is true. The answer is letter A. it follows the law of entropy where no energy can be converted completely into work. Under this law, Carnot’s theorem states that Carnot’s engine can perform 100% of work. However, no such engine has ever succeeded the conversion of work into 100%. The greatest efficiency so far is at 80%. Because there will always be factors that could affect the conversion of work. </span>

Two electrons travel towards each other at 0.2 c parallel to the laboratory x-axis. What is the relative velocity of one electro

Leya [2.2K]

1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c

To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

where

u is the velocity of one electron

v is the velocity of the second electron

c is the speed of light

In this problem:

u = 0.2c

v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find:

$u'=\frac{0.2c+0.2c}{1+\frac{(0.2c)(0.2c)}{c^2}}=\frac{0.4c}{1+0.04}=0.38c$

2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c

In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are

+0.2c

-0.2c

A 68 kg object, starting from rest, travels from point A to point B at a rate of 30 m/s in 2 hours. What is the applied force on

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf F = 0.28\ N}$

Explanation:

<h3>Given Data:</h3>

Mass = m = 68 kg

Velocity = v = 30 m/s

Time = 2 hours = 2 × 60 × 60 = 7200 s

<h3>Required:</h3>

Force = F = ?

<h3>Formula to be used:</h3>

$\displaystyle F = \frac{mv}{t}$

<h3>Solution:</h3>

$\displaystyle F = \frac{(68)(30)}{7200} \\\\F = \frac{2040}{7200} \\\\F = 0.28 N\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$

An object has a forward force of 100N and a reverse force of 25N. What is the resultant force?

iragen [17]

<u>Given</u><u>:</u>

An object has a forward force = 100N

An object has a reverse force = 25N

<u>To</u><u> </u><u>find</u><u> </u><u>out</u><u>:</u>

What is the resultant force?

<u>Solution</u><u>:</u>

Resultant Force = Forward force + Reserve force

= 100 N + ( - 25 N )

= 75 N

A lawyer drives from her home, located 88 milesmiles east and 1818 milesmiles north of the town courthouse, to her office, lo

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

the distance between the lawyer's home and her office is 124 miles

Explanation:

given information:

first lets assume that

x-axis (west = positive, east = negative)

y-axis (north = positive, south = negative)

thus,

distance of the house = (-88,18)

distance of the office = (13, -54)

thus, the distance between the lawyer's home and her office

R = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

= √(13 - (-88))² + (-54 -18)²

= 124 miles
