 <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>

No.  'Thrust' is what most people in aviation call the force
that pushes the aircraft forward. 

The same people generally call the upward force on the wing "lift".

Mechanical energy is lost:
9966 [12]
3. Due to the fact that friction is not converted to kinetic energy nor potential energy. The energy is converted into heat energy which is lost and can’t be put back

HELP PLEASE BOYLES LAW
kogti [31]

Answer:

3 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm

Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

Using the Boyle's law equation, the new volume (i.e final volume) of the Ne gas can be obtained as:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm

Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

0.75 × 2 = 0.5 × V₂

1.5 = 0.5 × V₂

Divide both side by 0.5

V₂ = 1.5 / 0.5

V₂ = 3 L

Thus, the new volume of the Ne gas is 3 L
