Answer:
A
Explanation:
Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.
88% of x = 0.88 x
0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.
heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x
efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %
Answer:
F = - 3.56*10⁵ N
Explanation:
To attempt this question, we use the formula for the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.
I = F t = Δp
Next, we try to find the time that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), so we say
v = d / t
t = d / v
Given that
m = 26 g = 26 10⁻³ kg
d = 50 mm = 50 10⁻³ m
t = d/v
t = 50 10⁻³ / 600
t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s
F t = m v - m v₀
This is so, because the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative
F = m (v-vo) / t
F = 26*10⁻³ (-500 - 640) / 8.33*10⁻⁵
F = - 3.56*10⁵ N
The negative sign is as a result of the force exerted against the bullet
