Look at the title of the graph, in small print under it.
Each point is "compared to 1950-1980 baseline". So the set of data for those years is being compared to itself. No wonder it matches up pretty close !
Answer:
the claim is not valid or reasonable.
Explanation:
In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:
η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂
where,
η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?
T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K
T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K
Therefore,
η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K
η(max) = 0.25 = 25%
Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:
η = W/Q
where,
W = Net Work = 250 KJ
Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ
Therefore,
η = 250 KJ/750 KJ
η = 0.333 = 33.3 %
η > η(max)
The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.
<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>

F = k x
k = 2 g/6.1 cm
2.5g = (2g/6.1cm) x
x = 6.1 (2.5/2) cm
I need more details like r u reading from something
Answer
A. the work done on the refrigerant in each cycle is 105kJ
B the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 4.8
Explanation
Given data
Work done at high temperature T2 Qh=610kJ
Work done at low temperature T1 Ql=505kJ
We know that the net work done by the refrigerator is expressed as
Wnet= Qh-Ql
=610-505
=105kJ
Also we know that the coefficient of performance is expressed as
COP= Ql/Wnet
COP= 505/105
= 4.8
