Hydro power, although a low-cost option, is not implemented every time because of the amount of disadvantages there are. One of the disadvantages this has is the pollution is gives. Since the reservoir is always filled with water, this causes any surrounding plants and trees to decompose, releasing a huge amount of methane and carbon dioxide into the environment. Aside from this, it also destroys nearby habitats, and diverts natural waterways, effectively killing fishes too.

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>

A(n) 30 kg boy rides a roller coaster. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . With what force does he press against the seat
forsale [732]

Answer:

Force, F = 187.42 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of boy, m = 30 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, a=9.8\ m/s^2

Radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 15 m

Speed of the car, v = 7.3 m/s

The force acting on the boy are force of gravity and the centripetal force. The net force acting on him is as follows :

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

F=m(g-\dfrac{v^2}{r})

F=30\times (9.8-\dfrac{(7.3)^2}{15})

F = 187.42 N

So, he press against the seat with a force is 187.42 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
