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 are designing a generator with a maximum emf 8.0 V. If the generator coil has 200 turns and a cross-sectional area of 0.030
shutvik [7]

Answer:

7.1 Hz

Explanation:

In a generator, the maximum induced emf is given by

\epsilon= 2\pi NAB f

where

N is the number of turns in the coil

A is the area of the coil

B is the magnetic field strength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

N = 200

A=0.030 m^2

\epsilon=8.0 V

B = 0.030 T

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the frequency of the generator:

f=\frac{\epsilon}{2\pi NAB}=\frac{8.0 V}{2\pi (200)(0.030 m^2)(0.030 T)}=7.1 Hz

1<br> A truck increases its speed from 15 m/s to 60 m/s in 15 s. Its acceleration is
MAVERICK [17]
Acceleration = (Vf - Vi)/t
Since Vf= 60m/s
Vi= 15m/s
T= 15s
=> a= (60m/s - 15m/s)/15s
= 3
So the acceleration is 3m/s^2

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Mass of ice = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Mass of water = 200 g

c_w = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

c_{Al} = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

How does the force of gravity affect the rate of acceleration?
Vesnalui [34]
Gravity lets all objects fall to the ground at the same speed, 9.8 m/s/s. If the force of gravity were stronger, such as 10 m/s/s, the rate of acceleration would be faster.
