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

Answer:

421.83 m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 396.9 m

Initial velocity (u) = 46.87 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) =...?

First, we shall determine the time taken for the ball to get to the ground.

This can be calculated by doing the following:

t = √(2h/g)

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) = 396.9 m

Time (t) =.?

t = √(2h/g)

t = √(2 x 396.9 / 9.8)

t = √81

t = 9 secs.

Therefore, it took 9 secs fir the ball to get to the ground.

Finally, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as illustrated below:

Time (t) = 9 secs.

Initial velocity (u) = 46.87 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) =...?

s = ut

s = 46.87 x 9

s = 421.83 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is 421.83 m
