What is the efficiency of a machine?

Julli [10]

Answer:

Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work).

Explanation:

It is a measure of how well a machine reduces friction.

Time dilation: A missile moves with speed 6.5-10 m/s with respect to an observer on the ground. How long will it take the missil

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The time taken by missile's clock is $4.6\times 10^{6} s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the missile, $v_{m = 6.5\times 10^{3}} m/s$

Now,

If 'T' be the time of the frame at rest then the dilated time as per the question is given as:

T' = T + 1

Now, using the time dilation eqn:

$T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T'}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T + 1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = (1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}}$ (1)

Using binomial theorem in the above eqn:

We know that:

$(1 + x)^{a} = 1 + ax$

Thus eqn (1) becomes:

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = 1 - \frac{- 1}{2}.\frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}$

$T = \frac{2c^{2}}{v_{m}^{2}}$

Now, putting appropriate values in the above eqn:

$T = \frac{2(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}{(6.5\times 10^{3})^{2}}$

$T = 4.6\times 10^{6} s$

A Carnot engine operates with an efficiency of 26.0% when the temperature of its cold reservoir is 281 K. Assuming that the temp

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%

Explanation:

In first case we have given efficiency of Carnot engine = 26 % = 0.26

Temperature of cold reservoir $T_L=281K$

We know that efficiency of Carnot engine is given by

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

$0.26 =1-\frac{281}{T_H}$

$T_H=379.72K$

For second Carnot engine efficiency is given as 35% = 0.35

And temperature of hot reservoir is same so $T_H=379.72K$

So $0.35=1-\frac{T_L}{379.72}$

$T_L=246.818K$

So the temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%
