Answer:

26.8 %

Explanation:

TH = 100°C = 100 + 273 = 373 K

Tc = 0°C = 273 K

The efficiency of the heat engine is given by

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_{c}}{T_{H}}$

$\eta = 1-\frac{273}{373}$

η = 0.268

η = 26.8 %

Thus, the efficiency of the heat engine is 26.8 %.

Answer:4500 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of truck $(m_t)=2100 kg$

mass of car $(m_c)=1200 kg$

as the car push the ground with a force of 4500 N so the force on the truck should also be 4500 N as they all the force is transmitted to push the truck

and their acceleration is

$a=\frac{4500}{1200+2100}=1.36 m/s^2$

Answer:

E =230.4 MJ

Explanation:

As 1 mole of electron = 6X 10^23 particles.

charge of an electron is 1.6 X 10 ^-19 C

Finding Charge:

(6X10^23 ) (2.7)(1.6X10^-19 C)

i.e. 192 K C

now to find the energy released from electrons

V=E/q

E=V X q

i.e E = 120 V X 192 K C

E =230.4 MJ
