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 total mass of the wheelbarrow and the road is 80 kg calculate the weight of the wheelbarrow and the road
Alja [10]

Answer:

The weight of the wheelbarrow and the road is 784 N and the force required to lift the wheelbarrow is 784 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

The total mass of the wheelbarrow and the road is 80 kg.

The weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

where

g is acceleration due to gravity

So,

W = 80 × 9.8

= 784 N

So, the force required to lift the wheelbarrow is equal to its weight i.e. 784 N.

The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that element’s
marishachu [46]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Atomic mass (Also called Atomic Weight, although this denomination is incorrect, since the mass is property of the body and the weight depends on the gravity) Mass of an atom corresponding to a certain chemical element). The uma (u) is usually used as a unit of measure. Where u.m.a are acronyms that mean "unit of atomic mass". This unit is also usually called Dalton (Da) in honor of the English chemist John Dalton.

It is equivalent to one twelfth of the mass of the nucleus of the most abundant isotope of carbon, carbon-12. It corresponds roughly to the mass of a proton (or a hydrogen atom). It is abbreviated as "uma", although it can also be found by its English acronym "amu" (Atomic Mass Unit). However, the recommended symbol is simply "u".

<u> The atomic masses of the chemical elements are usually calculated with the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element taking into account the relative abundance of each of them</u>, which explains the non-correspondence between the atomic mass in umas, of an element, and the number of nucleons that harbors the nucleus of its most common isotope.

Which number is 0.0069 expressed in scientific notation? 6.9 × 10 4 6.9 × 10 –6 6.9 × 10 –4 6.9 × 10 –3
Komok [63]

Given: The number = 0.0069 that has to be expressed in scientific notation

Concept: When we express any number in scientific notation then we shall consider two points.

(i) If we shift the decimal point from left to right after first (non-zero) digit then we count the number of shifted place of decimal and write them in terms of the negative power of 10. For example,  0.004789 = 4.789 ×10⁻³

(ii) If we shift the decimal point from right to left after first (non-zero) digit from the left end then we count the number of shifted place and write then in terms of the positive power of 10. For example,  4789.24 = 4.78924 ×10⁺³ = 4.78924 ×10³ Now, we shall convert the given number 0.0069 in scientific notation

0.0069  = 6.9 ×10⁻³ because we have shifted the decimal from left to right for three places that is after digit 6.

Hence, the last option 6.9 ×10⁻³ will be the correct option.
