HELP DUE TONIGHT What is friction? How does friction affect the motion of an object?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

Friction always acts in the direction opposing motion. This means if friction is present, it counteracts and cancels some of the force causing the motion (if the object is being accelerated).

Explanation:

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.

A Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.400. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of 298.0k and a

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

$\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}$

where:

$T_H$ is the temperature of the hot reservoir

$T_C$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

$\eta = 0.400$ is the efficiency

$T_C = 298.0 K$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for $T_H$ , we find:

$\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K$
