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 ductile metal wire has resistance R. What will be the resistance of this wire in terms of R if it is stretched to three times
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

9R

Explanation:

We know that the resistance is R=\rho *\frac{L}{A}.

If we stretch the wire to a new length L2 = 3L, the cross-sectional area will also change. If the cross-sectional area doesn't change throughout the wire, we can say that:

Volume = L*A = 3L * A2    being A2 the new area after stretching the wire.

Since the volume remains the same we conclude that A2 = A/3

With this information, we calculate the new resistance:

R2=\rho *\frac{L2}{A2}=\rho *\frac{3*L}{A/3}=\rho * 9 * \frac{L}{A}

Since R=\rho *\frac{L}{A}, and by simple inspection of the previous equation, we get:

<em>R2 = 9*R</em>

A bicyclist of mass 112 kg rides in a circle at a speed of 8.9 m/s. If the radius of the circle is 15.5 m, what is the centripet
kogti [31]
The centripetal force, Fc, is calculated through the equation, 
                                    Fc = mv²/r
where m is the mass,v is the velocity, and r is the radius. 
Substituting the known values,
                                     Fc = (112 kg)(8.9 m/s)² / (15.5 m)
                                         = 572.36 N
Therefore, the centripetal force of the bicyclist is approximately 572.36 N.

A table tennis ball with a mass of 0.003 kg and a soccer ball with a mass of 0.43 kg or both Serta name motion at 16 M/S calcula
poizon [28]
Let us first know the given: Tennis ball has a mass of 0.003 kg, Soccer ball has a mass of 0.43 kg. Having the same velocity at 16 m/s. First the equation for momentum is P=MV P=Momentum M=Mass V=Velocity. Now let us have the solution for the momentum of tennis ball. Pt=0.003 x 16 m/s= (    kg-m/s ) I use the subscript "t" for tennis.  Momentum of Soccer ball Ps= 0.43 x 13m/s = (      km-m/s). If we going to compare the momentum of both balls, the heavier object will surely have a greater momentum because it has a larger mass, unless otherwise  the tennis ball with a lesser mass will have a greater velocity to be equal or greater than the momentum of a soccer ball.
