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 %

How to measure the speed of sound in air?
Leona [35]

STEP ONE:


Let  you and your friend stand as far away as possible from a large reflecting wall and clap your hands rapidly at a regular rate.  


STEP TWO:


Adjust this rate until each clap just coincides with the return of an echo of its predecessor, or until clap and echo are heard as equally spaced.


STEP THREE:


Use a stopwatch to find the time between claps, t. Make a rough measurement of distance to the wall, s. Thus the speed of sound, v = 2s/t

which of these best dscribes Earth's mantle? A. most dense layer, consists of the outer and inner parts B. thinnest under the oc
stich3 [128]

C. middle layer, density increases with depth as pressure increases

Explanation:

The mantle is the middle layer of the earth. It's density increases with depth as pressure increases.

  • Based on the compositional division of the earth, our blue planet is divided into crust, mantle and the core.
  • The crust is the lightest and the outermost layer of the earth.
  • The mantle is the middle layer. Its density lies between that of the core and crust.
  • The mantle is the largest layer and density increases with depth here.
  • The core is a metallic ball. It is the most dense part of the earth.
