Input heat, Qin = 4 x 10⁵ J
Output heat, Qout = 3.5 x 10⁵ J

From the first Law of thermodynamics, obtain useful work performed as
W = Qin  -  Qout
     = 0.5 x 10⁵ J

By definition, the efficiency is
η = W/Qin
   = 100*(0.5 x 10⁵/4 x 10⁵)
   = 12.5%

Answer: The efficiency is 12.5%

I'm walking 1.6m/s to 7-11 and it started to rain so I sped up to 2.7m/s in 1.2
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = \frac{v_f-v_0}{t} which is the final velocity minus the initial velocity in the numerator, and the change in time in the denominator.  For us:

a=\frac{2.7-1.6}{1.2} so

a = .92 m/s/s (NOT negative because you're speeding up)

A block with mass 0.5 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.2 m. W
lianna [129]

Answer:

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081

Explanation:

We have given mass of the block m = 0.5 kg

The spring is compressed by length x = 0.2 m

Spring constant of the sprig k = 100 N/m

Blocks moves a horizontal distance of s = 1 m

Work done in stretching the spring is equal to W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\times 0.2^2=2J

This energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the block

And this kinetic energy must be equal to work done by the frictional force

So \mu mg\times s=2

\mu\times  0.5\times 9.8\times 1=2

\mu =0.4081

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081
