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"

Elements in a period have _____________.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elements in a period have wide range of chemical properties.

Explanation:

  • Period is the row of chemical elements's arrangement in the periodic table. It is numbered from 1 to 7.
  • In period as we move towards right the atomic number of element constantly increases along with the change in chemical properties.
  • As we move from left towards right in period, the valence electron number regularly increases in every element.
  • This valence electron differs the reactivity of the elements.

What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? Sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to tr
vagabundo [1.1K]

The speed of sound depends on any form of matter or medium in which sound travels through it and depends on the amount of molecular collisions. Sound travels slowest in gas in the form of steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart making it harder for the energy of vibrations hit the particles and make sound.

Moreover, sound travelling through solids like ice is much faster because the particles are closer together so the sound waves do not have to travel that far making the number of collisions greater and sound spread more easily.

A "biconvex" lens is one in which both surfaces of the lens bulge outwards. Suppose you had a biconvex lens with radii of curvat
madam [21]

Answer:

12 cm

Explanation:

We shall use Lens makers formula here which is as follows

\frac{1}{F} =(\mu-1) (\frac{1}{R_1} -\frac{1}{R_2})

Put μ = 1.5 , R₁ = 10 cm ,R₂ = -  15 cm ( according to sign convention )

\frac{1}{F} =(1.5-1) (\frac{1}{10} -\frac{1}{-15})

= .5 x ( 15 + 10 ) / 15 x 10

= \frac{25}{2\times10\times15}

F = 12 cm
