The discovery which Carnot made was that THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE HOT AND THE COLD RESERVOIRS DETERMINE HOW WELL A HEAT ENGINE WOULD WORK.
Sadi Carnot was a French engineer, He proposed a theoretical thermodynamic cycle in 1824. In his cycle, Said hold that the efficiency of a heat engine depends on the temperature difference between its hot reservoir and cold reservoir.

In a cyclic process, a gas performs 123 J of work on its surroundings per cycle. What amount of heat, if any, transfers into or
Margaret [11]

Answer:

123 J transfer into the gas

Explanation:

Here we know that 123 J work is done by the gas on its surrounding

So here gas is doing work against external forces

Now for cyclic process we know that

\Delta U = 0

so from 1st law of thermodynamics we have

dQ = W + \Delta U

dQ = W

so work done is same as the heat supplied to the system

So correct answer is

123 J transfer into the gas

A car battery has a rating of 170 ampere-hours. This rating is one indication of the total charge that the battery can provide t
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

612000 C

Explanation:

Current, I, is given as the rate of flow of charge, that is:

I = Δq / Δt

where q = electric charge

t = time taken

This implies that:

Δq = I * Δt

The battery rating is 170 Ampere-hours, therefore:

Δq = 170 * 1 hour

But 1 hour = 3600 seconds;

=> Δq = 170 * 3600 = 612000 C

The total charge that the battery can provide is 612000 C.

Why does the candle light has no shadow when light fall on it?​
andrezito [222]
Shadows are the absence of light, they are created when an object blocks light. In other words, shadows are the product of light particles, known as photons. These particles “bounce off” of the object without reaching the other side. Therefore light by itself will not form a shadow.
