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

two test cars of equal mass moving towards each other collide on a horiontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, car A h
LiRa [457]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = m

u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s

Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.

Use the conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v

20 - 12 = 2 v

8 = 2 v

v = 4 m/s

Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.

Superman is supposed to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Suppose that he obeys the normal laws of physics in this feat. Es
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

31.32 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let us assume the height of the Disque hall is 50 m

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -9.81\times 50}\\\Rightarrow u=31.32\ m/s

In order to make the jump Superman's initial velocity must be greater than or equal to 31.32 m/s
