Dima020 [189]

Answer:

She does a work of 689.44 J in the snow.

Explanation:

A force is said to do work when it alters the state of motion of a body. The work of the force on that body will be equivalent to the energy needed to move it.

In other words, Work is a form of energy transmission between bodies. In order to carry out work, a force must be exerted on a body and it must move.

The work is equal to the product of the force times the distance and the cosine of the angle that exists between the direction of the force and the direction that the moving point or object travels:

W= F*d* cos Ф

Work W is measured in joules (J), force is measured in newtons (N), and displacement in meters (m).

In this case:

  • F= 180 N
  • d=5 m
  • Ф= 40 degrees

Replacing:

W= 180 N*5 m* cos 40

Solving:

W= 689.44 J

<u><em>She does a work of 689.44 J in the snow.</em></u>

A power cycle operates between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200 K and 300 K, respectively. At steady state the cycle develops a p
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Thermal efficiency = work output / heat input

= .38 MW / 1 MW = .38

OR 38%

Heat rejected at cold reservoir = heat input - work output

1 MW - .38 MW

= 0.62 MW.

b ) For reversible power output

efficiency = T₂ - T₁ / T₂   ; T₂ is temperature of hot reservoir and T₁ is temperature of cold reservoir.

= 1200 - 300 / 1200 = 900 / 1200

= .75

or 75%

rate at which heat is rejected

= 1 - .75 x 1

= .25 MW .

A synthesis reaction occurs when a molecule is formed from the bonding of atoms, ions or simpler molecules. A single product is created from multiple reactants. These reactions are exothermic since they release energy in the form of light and heat.
