Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be: 
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>

Answer:

8.8 × 10³³J

Explanation:

efficiency of an engine η  = net work output ÷ heat input = 1 - \frac{T_{c} }{T_{H} }

T_{H} = 500 + 273 =773K

T_{C} = 20 + 273 =293K

n_{c} = 1 - \frac{293}{773}

  =0.62

power output= work output = 150kW

power output per hour = 150 × 1000×3600

                                     =5.4×10⁸J

recall, net work output ÷ heat input = 1 - \frac{T_{c} }{T_{H} }

∴ 0.62= 5.4×10⁸ ÷ heat input

heat input= 5.4×10⁸÷0.62

=8.81×10⁸J

If a ball is rolling across a floor at a constant speed is it accelerating
KATRIN_1 [288]

You already told us that its speed is constant. That's one part of acceleration.

The other part of acceleration is the direction it's moving.

If it's rolling in a straight line, then there's no acceleration.

If it's curving left or right, then that's acceleration.

in order to generate electricity, nuclear powerplants take advantage of this part of the electromagnetic spectrum
antiseptic1488 [7]
Bit of an odd question. Power Plants are known to use water-powered turbines to generate electricity, but can also make use of nuclear fission.

You hear a sound in the distance. Suddenly the sound gets deeper, decreasing in pitch. Which can you assume about the sound wave
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer

Explanation:

This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded  for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes  us.

Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.
