Answer: Qc * (1 - Th/Tc)

Explanation:  

Maximum Work done = Qh * η

                                Wmax  = Qh * (1 - Tc/Th)

For reversible cycle of engine: Qc/Tc + Qh/Th = 0

                                                   Qh = -(Qc*Th)/Tc

Substituting Qh back into equation for work:

Wmax = -(Qc*Th)/Tc *  (1 - Tc/Th)

Wmax = -(Qc*Th)/Tc + Qc

Wmax = Qc * (1 - Th/Tc)

LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

143 kW

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the beam, d = 1 mm

Wavelength of the beam, λ = 193 nm

Time used by the pulse, t = 14 ns

Energy of the pulse, U = 2 mJ

Recall that Power can be mathematically calculated using the relation,

Power = Work Done / Time,

To solve this, we apply the formula

P = U / Δt

P = 2*10^-3 J / 14*10^-9 s

P = 142857 W

P = 143 kW

What are the characteristics of high energy waves?
sladkih [1.3K]
<span>The relationship between wavelength, frequency and energy of Electromagnetic Radiation is given by E = hf = hc/lamba -------(1) So from (1) there's a linear relationship between E and f. The higher the frequency, f, the higher the energy E. Also from (1) it is obvious that the lower the wavelength, lambda, the higher the energy, E. This means the answer is D.</span>

) By observing that the centripetal acceleration of the Moon around the Earth is ac = 2.7 × 10-3 m/s2, what is the gravitatonal
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

G = 6,786 10⁻¹¹ m³ / s² kg

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

         F = G m M/ r²

Where G is the gravitational constant, m and M are the masses of the bodies and r is the distance from their centers

Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

          a = a_{c}  

We replace

         G m M / r² = m  a_{c}  

         G =  a_{c}   r² / M

Let's replace and calculate

         G = 2.7 10⁻³ (3.88 10⁸)² / 5.99 10²⁴

         G = 6,786 10⁻¹¹ m³ / s² kg

Let's perform a dimensional analysis

[N m²/kg²] = [kg m/s²   m² / kg²] = [m³ / s² kg]
