Answer:

Efficiency

Explanation:

  • The amount of mechanical work an engine can do per unit of heat energy it uses is called its efficiency.
  • It is also defined as the output divided by the total electrical power consumed.
  • In terms of heat, efficiency of engine is given by :

\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_o}{Q_i}

Q_o\ and\ Q_i are output heat and input heat respectively.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "efficiency"

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that F \propto v^2, provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, F_1, is

F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.

Room temperature water is placed in an Erlenmyer flask and heated to the boiling point. After the flask is removed from the heat
Vaselesa [24]

Explanation:

When water is boiled in the flask . Some portion of it is evaporated out . Now when cork is placed on it and is placed in the ice box . It cools down , by which the pressure inside decreases .

Due to decrease of pressure , the boiling point of water also decreases . Now it can boil at lower temperature . Thus it starts boiling at lower temperature even , when placed in the ice box .

You are driving due north on i-81 to come to jmu with a speed of 10 m/s, suddenly you realize you forgot your book. You make a u
Readme [11.4K]

first we make a U turn and travel towards home in t = 20 s

so the distance of home from initial position is

d_1 = v*t_1

d_1 = 10*20 = 200 m

Now after picking up the book we travel back with speed 20 m/s

so again after t = 20 s the displacement is given as

d_2 = v*t = 20*20 = 400 m

so the net displacement is given as

\vec d = \vec d_2 - \vec d_1

\vec d = 400 - 200 = 200 m

so it will be displaced by total displacement 200 m

Which of the following is NOT true of electromagnetic waves? A. An electric field is created in any region of space in which a m
Iteru [2.4K]
The incorrect statement about electromagnetic waves is C. induction of electric fields by changing magnetic fields only occurs if a conducting material is present.
Electromagnetic waves do not rely on any medium for propagation, which means that the generation of fields is irrespective of the presence of a conducting material.

one group of atoms on the periodic tables are known as "noble gases". why have they been given this name?​
maria [59]
This group is called “noble gases” because they do not react with other elements. This is because they have a full valence shell.
