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.

2.) Explain why the starting angle doesnt impact the time it takes the pendulum to swing back and forth?​
melomori [17]

The starting angle θθ of a pendulum does not affect its period for θ<<1θ<<1. At higher angles, however, the period TT increases with increasing θθ.

The relation between TT and θθ can be derived by solving the equation of motion of the simple pendulum (from F=ma)

−gsinθ=lθ¨−gain⁡θ=lθ¨

For small angles, θ≪1,θ≪1, and hence sinθ≈θsin⁡θ≈θ. Hence,

θ¨=−glθθ¨=−glθ

This second-order differential equation can be solved to get θ=θ0cos(ωt),ω=gl−−√θ=θ0cos⁡(ωt),ω=gl. The period is thus T=2πω=2πlg−−√T=2πω=2πlg, which is independent of the starting angle θ0θ0.

For large angles, however, the above derivation is invalid. Without going into the derivation, the general expression of the period is T=2πlg−−√(1+θ2016+...)T=2πlg(1+θ0216+...). At large angles, the θ2016θ0216 term starts to grow big and cause

A 0.5 m diameter wagon wheel consists of a thin rim having a mass of 7 kg and six spokes, each with a mass of 1.2 kg. 1.2 kg 7 k
Arte-miy333 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the rim of wheel, m₁ = 7 kg

Mass of one spoke, m₂ = 1.2 kg

Diameter of the wagon, d = 0.5 m

Radius of the wagon, r = 0.25 m

Let I is the the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis.

We know that the moment of inertia of the ring is given by :

I_1=m_1r^2

I_1=7\times (0.25)^2=0.437\ kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the rod about one end is given by :

I_2=\dfrac{m_2l^2}{3}

l = r

I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{3}

I_2=\dfrac{1.2\times (0.25)^2}{3}=0.025\ kgm^2

For 6 spokes, I_2=0.025\times 6=0.15\ kgm^2

So, the net moment of inertia of the wagon is :

I=I_1+I_2

I=0.437+0.15=0.587\ kgm^2

So, the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis is 0.587\ kgm^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Why might some rivers form canyons and other form valleys??
kap26 [50]

Valleys are one of the most common landforms on the Earth and they are formed through erosion or the gradual wearing down of the land by wind and water. In river valleys ​for example, the river acts as an erosional agent by grinding down the rock or soil and creating a valley

Water flowing from a waterfall before it hits the pond below?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

Ang prinsipyo ay nagsasaad na ang enerhiya ay hindi maaaring malikha o masira, ngunit maaari lamang ma-convert mula sa isang anyo patungo sa isa pa. Ang tubig sa tuktok ng napakataas na talon ay nagtataglay ng gravitational potential energy. Habang bumabagsak ang tubig, ang enerhiya na ito ay na-convert sa kinetic energy, na nagreresulta sa isang daloy sa isang mataas na bilis.
