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 car has a momentum of -456 kg*m/s. What direction is it moving?
Solnce55 [7]

backward movement

because momentum = mass × speed

And mass must be in positive value..

so negative value is speed

which moving backward..

Write the function y(x, t) that describes this pulse if it is traveling in the positive x-direction with a speed of 2.10 m/s. (U
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The function is missing in the question. The function of the transverse pulse in the wire is given by $y=\frac{6}{x^2 +3}$  

Explanation:

A transverse wave can be defined as the wave whose direction of displacement is always perpendicular to the direction of propagation. For example, surface wave at water bodies. While a pulse can be defined as a sudden change in a constant quantity such as a pulse of the radiation or current.

Let the wire of infinite length in both the directions and also the magnitude of deflection of wire be in the same shape except the point of maximum deflection to move along the wire.

Thus the equation of the pulse moving the in the positive x-direction moving at the speed of 2.10 m/s is

$y=\frac{6}{(x-2.10)^2 +3}$.

A pressure cooker is a pot whose lid can be tightly sealed to prevent gas from entering or escaping. Even without knowing how bi
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

3801.13 N

Explanation:

Pressure exerted on a surface is equivalent to applied force divided by the cross sectional area. Then, the applied force will be equal to the product of the pressure exerted and the cross sectional area.

Where given:

Atmospheric pressure (P1) = 1.013*10^5 Pa

T1 =  20+273.15 = 293.15 K

P2 = ?

T2 = 120+273.15 = 393.15 K

Using the gas equation: P1/T1 = P2/T2

Therefore, P2 = P1*T2/T1 = 1.013*10^5 *393.15/293.15 = 13.6*10^4 Pa

The net pressure = P2 - P1 = 13.6*10^4 - 1.013*10^5 = 34.6 kPa

The net force F_{120} = net pressure * area

Area = 0.11 m^2

Thus:  

The net force F_{120} = 34555.7*0.11 = 3801.13 N

At a particular instant the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by a planet on one of its moons is 7 × 1021 N. Collapse
9966 [12]

Answer:

Fg = 4.2*10²² N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between any two masses, provided that can be approximated by point masses (comparing their diameters with the distance between them), obeys the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, which states that the force (always attractive) is proportional to the product of  the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (this as a consequence of our Universe being three-dimensional), as follows:

Fg =\frac{G*m1*m2}{r^{2}}

So, if one of the masses increases 6 times, the force between them will be directly 6 times larger, so the new magnitude of the force will be as follows:

Fg₂ = Fg₁*6 = 7*10²¹ N* 6 = 4.2*10²² N

What happens when a vector is multiplied by a scalar?
iogann1982 [59]

The scalar operates only on the magnitude of the vector. 
So the length of the vector may change ... becoming longer
or shorter ... but its direction doesn't change.
