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%

List the elements of the APA's definition of a psychological disorder. (
Elina [12.6K]

What exactly is a psychological disorder? How is a psychological disorder diagnosed? Defining exactly what constitutes a mental disorder can be tricky and, definitions have changed over time.

The first problem is that psychologists must first decide exactly how to define disorder. How do you determine if there is something psychologically wrong or unhealthy about a person? How do you decide what's normal and what's abnormal?

If you were to define disorder as something that lies outside of the statistical norm, then people who are considered exceptionally talented or gifted in a particular area would be regarded as abnormal. So rather than focus on actions that are considered outside of the normal statistically speaking, psychologists tend to concentrate on the results of those behaviors. Behaviors that are considered maladaptive and cause significant personal distress and interrupt daily functioning are more likely to be labeled as abnormal.

Today many psychologists agree that psychological disorders are characterized by both personal distress and impairment in multiple areas of life.

A horizontal sheet of negative charge has a uniform electric field E = 3000N/C. Calculate the electric potential at a point 0.7m
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Electric potential, E = 2100 volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field, E = 3000 N/C

We need to find the electric potential at a point 0.7 m above the surface, d = 0.7 m

The electric potential is given by :

V=E\times d

V=3000\ N/C\times 0.7\ m

V = 2100 volts

So, the electric potential at a point 0.7 m above the surface is 2100 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is placed in contact with, and to the left of, a diverging lens of focal length 30 cm. I
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Magnification will be equal to 3

Explanation:

We have given focal length of the converging lens F_1=20cm

Focal length of the diverging lens F_2=30cm

Object is placed 40 cm to the length of the converging lens d = 40 cm

Combination of the focal length will be equal to

\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{F_1}+\frac{1}{F_2}

\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{-30}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{60}

F = 60 cm

So combination of the focal length will be 60 cm

Magnification is given by

M=\frac{F}{F-d}=\frac{60}{60-40}=3

So magnification will be equal to 3
