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)

The given function represents the position of a particle traveling along a horizontal line. s(t) = 2t3 − 3t2 − 12t + 6 for t ≥ 0
avanturin [10]

Answer:

(a) v(t) = 6t^2 - 6t - 12, a(t) = 12t - 6

(b) When 0 \leq t < 0.5, object is slowing down, when t > 0.5 object is speeding up.

Explanation:

(a) To get the velocity function, we need to take the derivative of the position function.

v(t) = \frac{ds(t)}{dt}  = (2t^{3})^{'} - (3t^{2})^{'} - (12t)^{'} + 6^{'} = 6t^{2} - 6t - 12

To get the acceleration function, we need to take the derivative of the velocity function.

a(t) = \frac{dv(t)}{dt} = (6t^{2})^{'} - (6t)^{'} - (12)^{'} = 12t - 6

(b) The object is slowing down when velocity is decreasing by time (decelerating) hence a < 0

12t - 6 < 0 \\12t < 6 \\t < 0.5

On the other hand, object is speeding up when a > 0

12t - 6 > 0 \\12t > 6 \\t > 0.5

Therefore, when 0 \leq t < 0.5, object is slowing down, when t > 0.5 object is speeding up.
