 <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>

A 12.0kg microwave oven is pushed 14.0m up the sloping surface of a loading ramp inclined at an angle 37 degrees above the horiz
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

a) What is the work done on the oven by the force F?

W = F * x

W = 120 N * (14.0 cos(37))

<<<< (x component)

W = 1341.71

b) F_f=\mu_k N

F_f=0.25\times12\times9.8

= 29.4 N

W_f= F_f\times x

W_f= 29.0\times 14 cos(37)

W_f= 328.72 J = 329 J

c) increase in the internal energy

U_2 = mgh

= 12*9.81*14sin(37)

= 991 J

d) the increase in oven's kinetic energy

U_1 + K_1 + W_other = U_2 + K_2

0 + 0 + (W_F - W_f ) = U_2 + K_2

1341.71 J - 329 J - 991 J = K_2

K_2 = 21.71 J

e) F - F_f = ma

(120N - 29.4N ) / 12.0kg = a

a = 7.55m/s^2

vf^2 = v0^2 + 2ax

vf^2 = 2(7.55m/s)(14.0m)  

V_f = 14.5396m/s

K = 1/2(mv^2)

K = 1/2(12.0kg)(14.5396m/s)

K = 87.238J

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to speed 6.6 m/s in 6.5 s .Find the distance the car travel during this time .​
kirill [66]

Answer:

<em>The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It occurs when an object changes its velocity at the same rate thus the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

Solving [1] for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Substituting the given data vo=0, vf=6.6 m/s, t=6.5 s:

\displaystyle a=\frac{6.6-0}{6.5}

a = 1.015\ m/s^2

The distance is now calculated with [2]:

\displaystyle x=0*6.5+\frac{1.015*6.5^2}{2}

x = 21.45 m

The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m

A 5.45-g combustible sample is burned in a calorimeter. the heat generated changes the temperature of 555 g of water from 20.5°c
Y_Kistochka [10]
Given:
m = 555 g, the mass of water in the calorimeter
ΔT = 39.5 - 20.5 = 19 °C, temperature change
c = 4.18 J/(°C-g), specific heat of  water

Assume that all generated heat goes into heating the water.
Then the energy released is
Q = mcΔT
    = (555 g)*(4.18 J/(°C-g)*(19 °C)
    = 44,078.1 J
    = 44,100 J (approximately)

Answer:  44,100 J
