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%

A car that is standing still accelerates up a hill with a slope of 6.4% at an average acceleration of 2.93 ft/s^2. The hill is 1
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

213 s

Explanation:

Slope is the ratio of change in vertical distance to change in horizontal distance.

Slope = vertical height / horizontal height

Therefore:

6.4% = vertical height / 12.42

vertical height = 6.4% * 12.42

vertical height = 0.8 miles

The distance travelled by the car (s) is:

s² = 0.8² + 12.42²

s² = 154.9

s = 12.45 miles

Acceleration (a) =  2.93 ft/s^2 = 0.00055 mile/s²

initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity = 203 mph

Using:

s = ut + 0.5at²

12.45 = 0.5(0.00055)t²

t =213 s
