To develop the problem we will start by finding the energy taken by each cycle through the efficiency of the motor and the exhausted energy. Later the work will be found for the conservation of energy in which this is equivalent to the difference between the two calculated energy values. Finally the estimated time will be calculated with the work and the power given,

\text{Efficiency of the heat engine} = \eta = 26\% = 0.26

\text{Energy taken in by the heat engine during each cycle} = Q_h

\text{Energy exhausted by the heat engine in each cycle} = Q_c = 8.55*10^3 J

\eta = 1 - \frac{Q_{c}}{Q_{h}}

0.26 = 1 - \frac{8.55\ast 10^{3}}{Q_{h}}

\frac{8.55* 10^{3}}{Q_{h}} = 0.74

Q_h = \frac{8.55*10^3}{0.74}

Q_h = 11.554*10^3J

PART A)

Work done by the heat engine in each cycle = W

W = Q_h-Q_c

W = 11.554*10^3J-8.55*10^3J

W = 3004J

According to the value given we have that,

P = 4.0kW

P = 4000W

Power is defined as the variation of energy as a function of time therefore,

P = \frac{W}{t}

4000W = \frac{3004J}{t}

t = \frac{3004}{4000}

t = 0.75s

Therefore the interval for each cycle is 0.75s

How far will a runner travel if she had an average speed of 10 km/hour and runs for 2.1 hours?
Rasek [7]
10 Km.
S= Speed
D= distance 
T= time

S= d/t
but since you are solving for "d" the equation is d=st so you plug in 10 km/h for speed and 2.1 hours for time and just multiply them. The hours cancel out so you are left with 10km.

A lawyer drives from her​ home, located 1 mile east and 8 miles north of the town​ courthouse, to her​ office, located 4 miles w
givi [52]

Answer:

d = 13 miles

Explanation:

Lets say the position of court house is origin in this case

her office is located at 4 miles west and 4 miles south of court house

so here we have coordinate of the office with respect to court house is given as

r_1 = (-4\hat i - 4\hat j)

now the position of her home is located at 1 miles east and 8 miles north of the court house

so the coordinates of her home is given as

r_2 = (1\hat i + 8 \hat j)

now the change in the position is given as the distance between office and home

d = r_2 - r_1

d = 5 \hat i + 12 \hat j

d = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13 miles

How long will it take an object to hit the ground if dropped from 100 meters
mash [69]

Answer:

The answer depends on what object you are dropping. Are you dropping a balloon or a car? (I'm joking 'bout that one.) If the mass of the object is very little, then it might drop slower. If the mass is bigger, then it might drop faster.

Good luck!

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal
kirza4 [7]

At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both  spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;

A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20

B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10

Given that t = 0 in both cases;

vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20

vA = 20 m/s

For vB

vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10

vB = 10 m/s

We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?
