What is the formula for calculating the efficiency of a heat engine?

Physics
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of the work output to the heat input into the system.

  •   It is highly impossible to get an engine that is 100% efficient.
  • A heat engine that is 100% efficient suggests that all the heat input into the system is used to do work completely.
  • There is no heat loss.

      Efficiency = \frac{work output}{heat input} x 100

Efficiency has no unit

Mashcka [7]

Explanation:

P.E=MGH

(1) P.E=5×10(G)×3

= 150 kg m^/s^ ( ^ =sqaure)

(2) P.E=5×10×6

= 300 kg m^/s^

Hope it helps, just remember the formula u can solve any question regarding gravition of earth (P.E=Mgh)

You observe a distant galaxy. You find that a spectral line of hydrogen that is shifted from its normal location in the visible
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from us

Explanation:

Galaxy refers to a system of millions or billions of stars accompanied by gas and dust such that they are held together as a result of gravitational attraction.

When we observe a distant galaxy, we find that a spectral line of hydrogen that is shifted from its normal location in the visible part of the spectrum into the infrared part of the spectrum.

It means that the galaxy is moving away from us.

Why do astronomers use the word on to describe angles on the sky rather than angles in the sky?
Sever21 [200]
<span>The use of the word on instead of the word in when referring to the angular distance between celestial objects comes about because all of the objects appear to be on the celestial sphere and at an indeterminable distance. While we know that objects are at different distances in the sky, their distance from Earth is irrelevant in determining the angular distance between the two objects as viewed from Earth.</span>

If the frequency of sound is doubled, how will its speed change? how will its wavelength change?
eimsori [14]

From the given equation we can deduce what changes will occur if the frequency of the sound is doubled

V= f (λ)

Speed = frequency. Wavelength  

When the frequency is doubled, speed will not change. Because speed depends on factors like temperature, air pressure, density of the gas. Since all these factors are unchanged thus speed will remain unchanged

Frequency is the number of waves produced per second. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional .Thus, if the frequency is doubled the wavelength would be halved.
