Answer:

58.5 %

Explanation:

temperature of hot source, T1 = 325 K

temperature of cold source, T2 = 135 K

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of work done to the input energy.

the formula to find the efficiency of heat engine is given by

η = 1 - T2 / T1

η = 1 - 135 / 325

η = 0.585

η = 58.5 %

You dip your finger into a pan of water twice each second,producing waves with crests that are separated by 0.17 m.
____ [38]

Answer:

a) 2Hz

b) 0.5seconds

c) 0.34m/s

Explanation:

a) Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations completed by a wave in one second.

If my finger is dipped into a pan of water twice each second, it means that my hand has made 2 oscillations through the water in one second. An oscillation is a to and fro movement of a particle, body or wave through a medium.

Based on the conclusion, the frequency of the waterwaves will be 2Hertz or 2cycles/sec.

2) Period T of a wave is defined as the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation. It is the reciprocal of the frequency of a wave.

T = 1/F

Given frequency = 2Hertz

T = 1/2

T = 0.5seconds

Period of the water wave is 0.5seconds

c) speed of the wave v is expressed according to the relationship:

velocity = frequency × wavelength

Given:

Frequency = 2Hertz

Wavelength = 0.17m (Since it is the difference between two successive crest or trough of a wave)

Velocity = 2×0.17

Velocity = 0.34m/s

If a fox starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 1.1 m/s^2, how long does it take the fox to run 5 m A. 3.0s B. 4.5s C. 9.
KATRIN_1 [288]
Given:
u=0 m/s
a=1.1 m/s^2
S=5 m
t=time it takes to run 5 m

Use the kinematics equation
S=ut+(1/2)at^2
=>
5=0*t+(1/2)1.1(t^2)
solve for t
t=sqrt(5*2/1.1)=3.015 seconds.

What is an example of chemical potential energy in humans?
Brilliant_brown [7]
During cellular respiration, our bodies take glucose molecules and breaks the bonds holding the molecules together. When these bonds are broken, the chemical energy stored in these bonds are released and used to make ATP molecules, a form of useable energy for us.
