Answer:

32%

Explanation:

For a heat engine, efficiency is work out divided by heat in:

η = Wₒ / Qᵢ

Since energy is balanced, heat in is the sum of work out and heat out:

Qᵢ = Wₒ + Qₒ

Therefore:

η = Wₒ / (Wₒ + Qₒ)

Given Wₒ = 710 J and Qₒ = 1480 J:

η = 710 / (710 + 1480)

η = 0.32

The thermal efficiency is 32%.

You are camping with two friends, Joe and Karl. Since all three of you like your privacy, you don't pitch your tents close toget
spayn [35]

Answer:

46 meters

Explanation:

In the figure you can see law of cosines.

In your case

α = 22.5° + 42 ° = 64.5 °

b = 15 m (distance between your's tent and Joe's tent)

c = 42 m (distance between your's tent and Karl's tent)

a is the distance between Joe's tent and Karl's tent

Replacing in the first equation:

a^2 = 15^2 m^2 + 42^2 m^2 - 2 \times 15 \times 42 \times cos(64.5)

a = \sqrt{2111.46 m^2}

a = 46 m
