Answer: The correct option is "all the heat energy from a source cannot be converted to mechanical energy"

Explanation:

Heat engine is a system which converts heat energy to the mechanical energy. During this process, a lot of heat energy is lost to surrounding.

Heat engine is a device that uses heat to do work. It is impossible to extract an amount of heat from the reservoir at high temperature and use this heat to do some work.

Some heat is rejected to the reservoir at low temperature.

Therefore, the laws of thermodynamics state that, in a heat engine, all the heat energy from a source cannot be converted to mechanical energy.

A series combination of two resistors, 7.25 ω and 4.03 ω, is connected to a 9.00 v battery.

almond37 [142]

a. $11.28\Omega$

The equivalent resistance of a series combination of two resistors is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

$R_{eq}=R_1 + R_2$

In this circuit, we have

$R_1 = 7.25 \Omega\\R_2 = 4.03 \Omega$

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is

$R_{eq}=7.25 \Omega + 4.03 \Omega=11.28 \Omega$

b. 5.8 V, 3.2 V

First of all, we need to determine the current flowing through each resistor, which is given by Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}$

where V = 9.00 V and $R_{eq}=11.28 \Omega$ . Substituting,

$I=\frac{9.00 V}{11.28 \Omega}=0.8 A$

Now we can calculate the potential difference across each resistor by using Ohm's law again:

$V_1 = I R_1 = (0.8 A)(7.25 \Omega)=5.8 V$

$V_2 = I R_2 = (0.8 A)(4.03 \Omega)=3.2 V$

A series circuit that is connected to a 50 V, 60 Hz source is made up of 25 ohm resistor, capacite wieh X= 18 ohms, and inductor

Allisa [31]

Answer:

the impedance of the circuit is 25.7 ohms.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage, V = 50 volts

Frequency, f = 60 Hz

Resistance, R = 25 ohms

Capacitive resistance, $X_C=18\ ohms$

Inductive resistance, $X_L=24\ ohms$

We need to find the impedance of the circuit. It is given by :

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}$

$Z=\sqrt{25^2+(24-18)^2}$

Z = 25.7 ohms

So, the impedance of the circuit is 25.7 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

Definition of termperature in thermodynamics

antoniya [11.8K]

"Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, which is related to how hot or cold that substance is. Historically, two equivalent concepts of temperature have developed, the thermodynamic description and a microscopic explanation based on statistical physics"
