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]4 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\%

All Mountains are built through a general process called "deformation" of the crust of the Earth. Deformation is a fancy word which could also mean "folding". An example of this kind of folding comes from the process described below. 

<span>When two sections of the Earth's lithosphere collide, rather than being subducted, where one slab of lithosphere is forced down to deeper regions of the Earth, the slabs pile into each other, causing one or both slabs can fold up like an accordion. This process elevates the crust, folds and deforms it heavily, and produces a mountain range. Mountain building and mantle subduction usually go together. </span>

Why does a geostationary satellite must orbit around Earth's equator, rather than in some other orbit (such as around the poles)
LiRa [457]

Answer:

A satellite on non-equatorial orbit would show daily motion even if its period is exactly 1 sidereal day.

The ceiling of your lecture hall is probably covered with acoustic tile, which has small holes separated by about 5.9 mm. Using
timurjin [86]

Answer:

45.88297 m

Violet

Explanation:

x = Gap between holes = 5.9 mm

\lambda = Wavelength = 527 nm

D = Diameter of eye = 5 mm

L= Distance of observer from holes

From Rayleigh criteria we have the relation

\frac{x}{L}=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{xD}{1.22\lambda}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{5.9\times 10^{-3}\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 527\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow L=45.88297\ m

A person could be 45.88297 m from the tile and still resolve the holes

Resolving them better means increasing the distance between the observer and the holes. It can be seen here that the distance is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Violet has a lower wavelength than red so, violet light would resolve the holes better.
