Why can't the efficiency of a heat engine be 100%?

Physics
1 answer:
Papessa [141]3 years ago
5 0
The efficiency can never be 100 because some of the work will be transferred into thermal energy. In turn, causing the percentage to decrease. This is basically the second law of thermodynamics.

Anna pushes a box with a force of 8.00 newtons. She generates a power of 3.00 watts. How much time does it take for Anna to move
QveST [7]
Power is the energy in a system per time.  It will have units of Watts which is equal to joules per second. It can be expressed as:

P = E / t

where E = Force x distance

P = Fd / t
t = Fd / P
t = 8 (9.72) / 3.0
t = 25.92 s

A car takes off from rest takes of from rest and covers a distance of 80m on a straight road in 10s.Calculate the magnitude of i
hodyreva [135]
  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s [the car was at rest]
  • Distance (s) = 80 m
  • Time (t) = 10 s
  • Let the magnitude of acceleration be a.
  • By using the equation of motion, s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}we get,80 = 0 \times 10 +  \frac{1}{2}  \times a \times  {10}^{2}  \\  =  > 80 =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 100a \\  =  > 80 = 50a \\  =  > a =  \frac{80}{50}  \\  =  > a = 1.6

Since the moon has less mass than the earth what happens to objects on the moon
postnew [5]
When you drop an object on the moon, it falls to the ground.
But it only falls about 1/6 as fast as it falls on Earth.

A car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate after the car has gone 50 m it has a speed of 21 m/s what is the accel
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

4.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

(v_f)^2 - (v_i)^2 = 2a * change in distance

(21)^2 - (0)^2 = 2a * 50

a = (21^2)/(2*50)

a = 4.41 m/s^2

Consider two celestial objects with masses m1 and m2 with a separation distance between their centers r. If the first mass m1 we
Scilla [17]

The new magnitude of the force of attraction will be 6 times the original force of attraction

<h3>How to determine the initial force </h3>
  • Mass 1 = m₁
  • Mass 2 = m₂
  • Gravitational constant = G
  • Distance apart = r
  • Initial force (F₁) = ?

F = Gm₁m₂ / r²

F₁ = Gm₁m₂ / r²

<h3>How to determine the new force </h3>
  • Mass 1 = 2m₁
  • Mass 2 = 3m₂
  • Gravitational constant = G
  • Distance apart (r) = r
  • New force (F₂) =?

F = Gm₁m₂ / r²

F₂ = G × 2m₁ × 3m₂ / r²

F₂ = 6Gm₁m₂ / r²

But

F₁ = Gm₁m₂ / r²

Therefore

F₂ = 6Gm₁m₂ / r²

F₂ = 6F₁

Thus, the new magnitude of the force of attraction will be 6 times the original force of attraction
