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 %

A glass falls off a shelf. How fast is the glass moving after 0.4 seconds?
tresset_1 [31]

On Earth, gravity increases the speed of a falling object by about 9.8 m/s
every second that it falls.

In 0.4 second, its speed increases by (0.4 x 9.8) = 3.92 m/s.

If it just rolled off of the shelf at the beginning of that 0.4 second, then it
started from zero speed, and its speed after 0.4 second is 3.92 m/s.

Its velocity is 3.92 m/s downward.

Two small conducting point charges, separated by 0.4 m, carry a total charge of 200 C. They repel one another with a force of 12
Lunna [17]

Answer:

200 C

Explanation:

Let C1 and C2 be their charges. According to Coulomb's law

F_C = k\frac{C_1C_2}{R^2}

where k = 8.99\times10^9 nm^2/C^2 is the constant, R = 0.4m is the distance between them, F = 120 N is their resulting charge force

120 = 8.99\times10^9\frac{C_1C_2}{0.4^2}

C_1C_2 = \frac{120*0.4^2}{8.99\times10^9} = 2.13\times10^{-9}

Since their total charge is 200C:

C_1 + C_2 = 200 or C_1 = 200 - C_2

We can substitute the above equation

C_1C_2 = (200 - C_2)C_2 = 2.13\times10^{-9}

-C_2^2 +200C_2 - 2.13\times10^{-9} = 0

C= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

C= \frac{-200\pm \sqrt{(200)^2 - 4*(-1)*(-0.00000000213)}}{2*(-1)}

C= \frac{-200\pm200}{-2}

C = 1.06 \times 10^{-11} or C \approx 200

So the larger charge is C = 200 C
