Tomtit [17]4 years ago
6 0

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%.

Position coordinate of a particle confined to
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a) 4 s

b) 36 m/s²

c) 54 m

Explanation:

s = 2t³ – 24t + 6

a) Find t when v = 72 m/s.

v = ds/dt

v = 6t² – 24

72 = 6t² – 24

6t² = 96

t = 4

b) Find a when v = 30 m/s.

a = dv/dt

a = 12t

When v = 30:

30 = 6t² – 24

6t² = 54

t = 3

a = 36

c) Find Δs between t = 1 and t = 4

Δs = (2(4)³ – 24(4) + 6) – (2(1)³ – 24(1) + 6)

Δs = 38 – (-16)

Δs = 54

Define A Gamma Ray .....---_---__☘️​
MrRa [10]

Answer:

gamma ray, or gamma radiation (symbol γ or {\displaystyle \gamma } \gamma ), is a penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves and so imparts the highest photon energy. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, discovered gamma radiation in 1900 while studying radiation emitted by radium. In 1903, Ernest Rutherford named this radiation gamma rays based on their relatively strong penetration of matter; in 1900 he had already named two less penetrating types of decay radiation (discovered by Henri Becquerel) alpha rays and beta rays in ascending order of penetrating power.
