Answer: The Northern Hemisphere experiences the start of <u>summer</u>
Explanation:
Due to this tilt in Earth's axis of rotation, some regions receive different amounts of sunlight according to the seasons of the year. These variations are more evident near the poles and softer or imperceptible near the equator. This explains the fact that while in the northern hemisphere it is summer and there are high temperatures (because the Sunlight incides more perpendicularly in this area during this season), in the southern hemisphere it is winter and very low temperatures are recorded, and vice versa.
In this sense, according to the image the Earth is at the point of its orbit in which, due to the inclination of its axis, the North Pole is closer to the Sun.
In other words, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and this astronomical phenomenon brings the summer season for the Northern Hemisphere.
Answer:
19% total electrical output
Explanation:
Answer:
(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%
Explanation:
Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as:
solving to Q_out we get:
this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us:
where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get:
