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.

The two major parts of the optical telescope

nydimaria [60]

The "objective" (lens or mirror) is the major major major part of
the optical telescope. It's really the only part you need in order
to make a telescope (besides something to hold the objective).
You can put a piece of film or a CCD right at the focal point of
the objective lens or mirror and capture 'images' (pictures) there.

If you want to use the telescope for looking through and seeing stuff
with your eye, then you need the other major part ... the eyepiece lens.

The distance from home plate to the pitchers mound is 18.5 meters. For a pitcher capable of throwing at 3.85m/s(86mi/hr), how mu

Taya2010 [7]

Given that:

Distance , s = 18.5 m

Velocity , v = 3.85 m/s

Time , t =?

Since,

Velocity = distance/time

Time= distance/velocity

time= 18.5/ 3.85

time= 4.8 s

So the time elapse between the release of the ball and the ball passing home plate is 4.8 seconds.

Please help! the mass of an object is measured on a pan balance with a precision of 0.005 g and the recorded value of 128.01 g.

inysia [295]

Yes, these two objects have different masses.

<h3>How can we calculate that this statement is right ?</h3>

To calculate the precision of mass we are using the formula,

Precision(P) = $\frac{m_1}{m_1+\triangle m}$

Or, $\triangle$ m= $\frac{m_1}{P}$ -m₁

For the first case we are given,

m₁= The recorded value of mass

= 128.01 g

P= Precision of the mass

=0.005g

So, according to the formula, $\triangle$ m will be,

$\triangle$ m= $\frac{128.01}{0.005}$ -128.01

Or, $\triangle$ m=25,473.99 g

Or, $\triangle$ m=25.47 Kg

For the first case $\triangle$ m is 25.47 Kg..

For the second case we are given,

m₁= The recorded value of mass

= 0.13 Kg

P= Precision of the mass

=0.005 Kg

So, according to the formula, $\triangle$ m will be,

$\triangle$ m= $\frac{0.13}{0.005}$ -0.13

Or, $\triangle$ m= 25.87 kg

For the second case $\triangle$ m is 25.87 Kg.

For the two cases $\triangle$ m has different values, 25.47 Kg≠25.87 Kg.

Therefore we can conclude that, these two objects have different masses.

Why forces are balanced and unbalanced? need help with this the lesson is tommorow

Naya [18.7K]

"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way.

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down. It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move. The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her. If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.
