A heat engine receives 7000 j of heat and loses 3000 j in each cycle. what is the efficiency of this engine?

Physics
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 57.1 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of the engine is given by:

\eta=\frac{Q_{used}}{Q_{in}}

where the numerator corresponds to the heat used by the engine, while the denominator corresponds to the heat in input to the engine.

In this problem, the heat in input is

Q_{in}=7000 J

while the heat used is

Q_{used}=7000 J-3000 J=4000 J

So, the efficiency is

\eta=\frac{4000 J}{7000 J}=0.571=57.1\%

A ball is thrown vertically down from the edge of a cliff with a speed of 4 m/s, how high is the cliff, if it took 12 s for the
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The height of the cliff from which the ball was dropped from is 224.4m.

\overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}

Given the data in the question;

Initial velocity of the ball;

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground;

Distance or Height of the cliff from which the ball was thrown from;

To get the height of the Cliff, we use the Second Equation of Motion:

Where s is the distance or height,  is the initial velocity, t is the time and a is the acceleration. Since the ball was thrown down from a certain height (cliff), its is now under the influence of gravity. acceleration due to gravity;

Hence, the equation becomes

We substitute the given values into the equation

Therefore, the height of the cliff from which the ball was dropped from is 224.4m

You punt a ball straight up at 20 m/s. What is the balls hangtime
Natalija [7]

The hang time of the ball is 4.08 s

Explanation:

The ball is in free fall motion: this means that it is acted upon gravity only, so its acceleration is the acceleration of gravity,

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2

downward (the negative sign refers to the downward direction).

Since this is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

First we calculate the time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum height, where the velocity is zero:

v = 0

Substituting:

u = +20 m/s

a=-9.8 m/s^2

we find t

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-20}{-9.8}=2.04 s

The motion of the ball is symmetrical, so the total time of flight is just twice the time needed to reach the maximum height, therefore:

T=2t=2(2.04)=4.08 s

Which system works with the respiratory system for the exchange of gases to take place?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Circulatory System

Explanation:

The respiratory system works with the circulatory system to provide tis oxygen and to remove the waste products of metabolism. It also helps to regulate PH of the blood. Respiration is the sequence of events that result in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the body cells.
