A sound wave is a longitudinal wave
<span>The maximum possible efficiency, i.e the efficiency of a Carnot engine , is give by the ratio of the absolute temperatures of hot and cold reservoir.
η_max = 1 - (T_c/T_h)
For this engine:
η_max = 1 - [ (20 +273)K/(600 + 273)K ] = 0.66 = 66%
The actual efficiency of the engine is 30%, i.e.
η = 0.3 ∙ 0.664 = 0.20 = 20 %
On the other hand thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done to the amount of heat absorbed from hot reservoir:
η = W/Q_h
So the heat required from hot reservoir is:
Q_h = W/η = 1000J / 0.20 = 5000J</span>
Answer:
C. The change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be converted or transformed from one form to another. Therefore, the sum of the initial kinetic energy and potential energy is equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and potential energy.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf .......equation 1
Where;
Ki and Kf are the initial and final kinetic energy respectively.
Ui and Uf are the initial and final potential energy respectively.
The law of conservation of Energy is another way to describe the law of Thermodynamics. It states that the change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
ΔU = Q − W
Where;
ΔU represents the change in internal energy of a system.
Q represents the net heat transfer in and out of the system.
W represents the sum of work (net work) done on or by the system.
