In each cycle, a heat engine receives an input of 1540 J of heat and exhausts 1030 J of heat. What is the thermal efficiency?

Physics

Katarina [22]3 years ago
3 0

The thermal efficiency of a combustion system is simply the ratio of heat out and heat in, that is:

efficiency = heat out / heat in

efficiency = 1030 J / 1540 J

efficiency = 0.669

 

<span>So the efficiency is 0.669</span>

Why are sunlight and gravity not considered matter?
Nady [450]

Sunlight and gravity are not considered matter because sunlight does not have  a rest mass that is characteristic of matter while gravity is just a vector component of matter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sunlight has energy and momentum that makes it similar to matter but it cannot be considered matter when you consider all the factors that are characteristic of matter. Light is an electromagnetic wave that is made up of photons and  the protons do not have rest mass.

Gravity is  a vector component of matter that has both magnitude as well as direction and the gravity increases with increase in mass of an object.

What are the correct units for force and for weight?​
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The associated SI unit of force and weight is the Newton, with 1 kilogram weighing 9.8 Newtons under standard conditions on the Earth's surface. However, in the US common units, the pound is the unit of force (and therefore weight). The pound is the widely used unit for commerce.

FORCE AND DISPLACEMENT AT AN ANGLE A sailor pulls a boat a distance of 30.0 m along a dock using a rope that makes a 25.0° angle
Bingel [31]

Answer: 6117.58 J

Explanation:

We know that W=Fd*cos(theta) where theta is the angle between the displacement and the force.

In this case, we are given that F=225 N, d=30 m, and theta=25 degrees.

Plugging all this in we get

W=225*30*cos(25)=6117.58 J

When the tube is filled with mercury vapor, as in this case, a sharp drop in the collected current is observed when the accelera
adell [148]

Answer:

4.9 eV .

Explanation:

It is the case of discharge through mercury tube light . In it , mercury  atoms are exited due to which electrons are sent to higher energy  level . Here current drops to zero because electrons are excited to higher level . Energy are absorbed in quantised manner . Energy absorbed by electrons will be 4.9 eV . That means , difference in energy  between two energy level is  4.9 eV .

Kelly's mother is taking her temperature to see if she has a fever. Which unit of measurement could be used to measure Kelly's b
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

To measure a temperature, you have degrees with Farenheight or Celsius. Meters are measured with a meter stick while grams and kilograms are measurments for weight.

Therefore, degrees Celsius is your answer.

Best of Luck to you!
