4) Astronomers use tiny wobbles of distant stars to detect the presence of planets orbiting those stars. This occurs because the

star exerts a gravitational pull on the planet while the planet A) repels the star it orbits. B) exerts no force on the star. C) creates friction between itself and the star. D) exerts a gravitational pull on the star it orbits.

choli [55]

Answer:

\eta=0.0512\ or\ 5.12\%

Explanation:

Heat engine is device operating in a continuous cycle between two reservoirs such that it transfers heat from a high temperature reservoir to a low temperature reservoir giving some work output in synchronization to Kelvin-Plank statement of the second law of thermodynamics.

<u>Given that:</u>

  • temperature of higher temperature reservoir, T_H=20+273=293\ K
  • temperature of lower temperature reservoir, T_L=5+273=278\ K

<u>For maximum efficiency:</u>

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

were:

T_H\ \&\ T_L are the temperatures of higher temperature reservoir and lower temperature reservoir respectively.

\eta=1-\frac{278}{293}

\eta=0.0512\ or\ 5.12\%

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arr
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

894.12\ \text{N}

284.013\ \text{J}

Explanation:

U = Energy = 76 J

x = Displacement of spring = 0.17 m

k = Spring constant

Energy is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2U}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2\times 76}{0.17^2}\\\Rightarrow k=5259.51\ \text{Nm}

Force is given by

F=kx\\\Rightarrow F=5259.51\times 0.17\\\Rightarrow F=894.12\ \text{N}

The magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform is 894.12\ \text{N}.

Now x=0.17+0.2=0.37\ \text{m}

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5259.51\times 0.37^2\\\Rightarrow U=360.013\ \text{J}

Additional energy

360.013-76=284.013\ \text{J}

Paco was driving his scooter west with an initial velocity of 4 m/s. He accelerates at 0.5 m/s2 for 30 seconds.
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

V = 19m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, U = 4m/s

Acceleration, a = 0.5m/s²

Time, t = 30 seconds

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

V = 4 + 0.5*30

V = 4 + 15

V = 19m/s

Therefore, his final velocity is 19 meters per seconds.

Ray Of Light [21]

10.4 N

Given

m = 1.10 kg

θ = 15.0°

g = 9.81 m/s2

Solution

Fnet, y = ΣF y = Fn − Fg, y = 0

Fn = Fg, y = Fg

cosθ = mgcosθ

Fn = (1.10 kg)(9.81 m/s2

)(cos15.0°) = 10.4 N
