A carnot engine operates between two heat reservoirs at temperatures th and tc. an inventor proposes to increase the efficiency

by running one engine between th and an intermediate temperature t and a second engine between t and tc using as input the heat expelled by the first engine.

The efficiency of the first Carnot engine is 
n1 = 1 - Th/T
The efficiency of the second Carnot engine is
n2 = 1 - T/Tc
The total efficiency of the engines put in series is
n = 1 - Th/Tc

The coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0.40 the weight of the object
Ann [662]

The frictional force of an object is the product of the normal force and coefficient of kinetic friction. Here the frictional force acting on the object  is 16.4 N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

Frictional force is a kind of force acting on a body to resist it from motion. Thus, the direction of the force will be in negative with the magnitude. Frictional force is the product of coefficient of friction and the normal force.

The normal  force acting on the object of mass 4.2 Kg is N = mg

N = 4.2 Kg × 9.8 m/s² = 41.16 N

Frictional force = ц N

                         = 0.40 × 41.16 N

                         = 16.4 N.

Therefore, the frictional force acting between the surface of the object and the floor is 16.4 N

A 5.00 kg mass is placed on top of a vertical spring, which compresses a distance of 3.13 cm. Calculate the force constant (in N
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

<h2>1567.09 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m=5kg

compression x= 3.13cm to m= 0.0313m

<em>According to Hooke's law, provided the elastic limit of an elastic material is not exceeded the extension e is directly proportional to the applied force</em>

F=ke

where

k= spring constant in N/m

e= extension/compression in

Step two:

assume g= 9.81m/s^2

F=mg

F=5*9.81

F=49.05N

substitute in the expression F=ke

49.05=k*0.0313

k=49.05/0.0313

k=1567.09 N/m

<u>The force constant (in N/m) of the spring is 1567.09 N/m</u>

A car goes at v mph for a hours then goes in the opposite direction at u mph for b hours. How far is the car from where it start
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

(av + bu) miles

Explanation:

Average speed = distance/time

distance = time × average speed

distance from the starting point to the beginning of the opposite direction = a hours × v mph (mph is miles per hour) = av miles

distance from the opposite direction to the end = b hours × u mph = bu miles

distance from where he started to the end = (av + bu) miles
