Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Thomson's model showed an atom that had a positively charged medium, or space, with negatively charged electrons inside the medium. After its proposal, the model was called a "plum pudding" model because the positive medium was like a pudding, with electrons, or plums, inside.

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>

A 48.0-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocit
Kipish [7]

Answer:

F = 47.6 N

Explanation:

  • Newton's 2nd law can be expressed as the rate of change of the total momentum, respect of time, as follows:

       F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

  • So, in order to find the average force exerted by the skater on the wall, we can find the change in momentum due to the force exerted by the wall (which is equal and opposite to the one exerted by the skater), and  divide it by the time interval , as follows:

       F_{wall} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{(48.0 kg*(-1.06m/s)}{1.07s} = -47.6 N

       ⇒ Fsk = 47.6 N (normal to the wall)
