 <span>The maximum possible efficiency, i.e the efficiency of a Carnot engine , is give by the ratio of the absolute temperatures of hot and cold reservoir. 
η_max = 1 - (T_c/T_h) 

For this engine: 
η_max = 1 - [ (20 +273)K/(600 + 273)K ] = 0.66 = 66% 

The actual efficiency of the engine is 30%, i.e. 
η = 0.3 ∙ 0.664 = 0.20 = 20 % 

On the other hand thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done to the amount of heat absorbed from hot reservoir: 
η = W/Q_h 

So the heat required from hot reservoir is: 
Q_h = W/η = 1000J / 0.20 = 5000J</span>

What is your velocity if it takes you 40 seconds to walk around a circle of 50meters 3 times?​
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

0 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is displacement over time.  Displacement is the distance between your initial position and your final position.  If you walk in a circle, you end up back where you started, so your displacement is 0.  Therefore, your velocity is also 0.

A projectile is fired directly upwards at 49.4 m/s. A second projectile is dropped from rest at some higher elevation at the ins
8090 [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of first projectile after 3 s

v = u - gt

v = 49.4 - 9.8 x 3

= 20 m /s

Velocity of second projectile after 3 s after being dropped from rest

v = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 3

= 29.4 m /s

They will be moving in opposite direction at the time of meeting , so their relative velocity

= 20 + 29.4 = 49.4 m /s

From the frame of reference of the first projectile, the velocity of the second projectile will be 49.4 m /s .
