We are going to make an imaginary engine using water. We are going to heat 100 grams of water to 120 C from its initial temperat

ure of 22 C. This would be the heat extracted from the hot reservoir. Then the steam will condense back into water and will be at a temperature of 30 C. This would be the exhaust expelled into the cold reservoir. You can assume the mass of the water and the mass of the steam is the same in this case. How much work can be done using this engine? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/(g C), the specific heat of steam is 0.48 cal/(g C),
and the latent heat of vaporization 540 cal/g.

Answer:

The work done by this engine is 800 cal

Explanation:

Given:

100 g of water

120°C final temperature

22°C initial temperature

30°C is the temperature of condensed steam

Cw = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g °C

Cg = specific heat of steam = 0.48 cal/g °C

Lw = latent heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g

Question: How much work can be done using this engine, W = ?

First, you need to calculate the heat that it is necessary to change water to steam:

Q_{1} =m_{w} C_{w} (100-22)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)

Here, mw is the mass of water

Q_{1} =(100*1*78)+(100*540)+(100*0.48*20)=62760cal

Now, you need to calculate the heat released by the steam:

Q_{2} =m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{w}(100-30)=(100*0.48*20)+(100*540)+(100*1*70)=61960cal

The work done by this engine is the difference between both heats:

W=Q_{1}-Q_{2}=62760-61960=800cal

According to ____, the ability to detect a stimulus depends not only on the intensity of the stimulus but also on other variable
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Signal detection theory

Explanation:

Signal detection theory states that stimulus ca be detected according to its intensity and a person's psychological and/or physical state. This means that we can notice things according to how strong they are but also, a person's characteristics like experience and physiological state like fatigue can affect the ability to detect them.

Because of this, the answer is that according to signal detection theory, the ability to detect a stimulus depends not only on the intensity of the stimulus but also on other variables such as the level of noise in the system and your expectations.

A rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 69.2 m/s2. Calculate the normal force (in N) acting on an a
goldenfox [79]

According to Newton's 3rd law, there will be equal and opposite force on the astronaut which is  -6048 N

<h3>What does Newton's third law say ?</h3>

The law state that in every action, there will be equal and opposite reaction.

Given that a rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 69.2 m/s2. We are to calculate the normal force (in N) acting on an astronaut of mass 87.4 kg, including his space suit.

Let us first calculate the force involved in the acceleration of the rocket by using the formula

F = ma

Where mass m = 87.4 kg, acceleration a = 69.2 m/s2

Substitute the two parameters into the formula

F = 87.4 x 69.2

F = 6048.08 N

According to the Newton's 3rd law, there will be equal and opposite force on the astronaut.

Therefore, the normal force acting on the astronaut is -6048 N approximately

A​ right-circular cylindrical tank of height 8 ft and radius 4 ft is laying horizontally and is full of fuel weighing 52 ​lb/ft3
tresset_1 [31]

Given:

Height of tank = 8 ft

and we need to pump fuel weighing 52 lb/ ft^{3} to a height of 13 ft above the tank top

Solution:

Total height = 8+13 =21 ft

pumping dist = 21 - y

Area of cross-section = \pi r^{2} =  \pi 4^{2} =16\pi ft^{2}

Now,

Work done required = \int_{0}^{8} 52\times 16\pi (21 - y)dy

                                  = 832\pi \int_{0}^{8} (21 - y)dy

                                  = 832\pi([ 21y ]_{0}^{8} - [\frac{y^{2}}{2}]_{0}^{8}\\)

                                  = 113152\pi = 355477 ft-lb

Therefore work required to pump the fuel is 355477 ft-lb
