Answer:

actual efficiency is  47.78 %

Carnot efficiency  is 67.65 %

power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 1900°C = 1900+ 273 K = 2173 K

exhaust temperature = 430°C = 430 + 273 K = 703 K

fuel = 7.0 × 10^9 cal

work = 1.4 × 10^10 J

to find out

actual efficiency  and Carnot efficiency and power output of engine

solution

first we find actual efficiency that is = work / heat input

put the value and

input energy  = 7.0 × 10^9 cal  (4.184 J/1 cal)  = 29.29 × 10^9 J

actual efficiency  =  1.4 × 10^10 / ( 29.29 × 10^9 )

actual efficiency  =  0.4778

actual efficiency is  47.78 %

and

Carnot efficiency  is = 1 - ( 703 / 2173 )

so Carnot efficiency  is  = 0.67648

Carnot efficiency  is 67.65 %

and

power output  = work / time

power output  =  1.4 × 10^10 / 3600 sec

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W / 746 hp

so power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp

Variables in physics often include a subscript. What are subscripts used for in physics?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

C.) To indicate different versions of the same variable.

Explanation:

Variables in physics often include a subscript. These subscripts are used for indicating different versions of the same variable in physics.

Basically, subscripts are used to represent the beginning (initial) and ending (final) position or point of a variable in physics.

For example, we would look at Gay Lussac' Law of gases.

Gay Lussac law states that when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Gay Lussac's law is given by;

PT = K

\frac{P1}{T1} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}

Where;

T_{1} represents the initial temperature.

T_{2} represents the initial temperature.

P_{1} represents the initial pressure.

P_{2} represents the initial pressure.

Note: 1 and 2 are the subscript while T and P are the variables.

Im confused on number one
mr Goodwill [35]

Explanation:

v=?, u=0, a=?, S=22m.

Using the formula, S=ut+½at²

22={0×5}+(½.a.5²)

22=½.a.5²

a=44/25 = 1.76m/s².

Therefore, net force = work done = ma = 48×1.76 = 84.48N.

therefore, power = work done/time = 84.48/5 = 16.896W.

hope this helps you.

What is the speed of the block/bullet system after the collision? express your answer in terms of vi, mw, and mb. hints?
Sonbull [250]
Having said that, 
mV + M0 = (m + M)v; where m = bullet mass, M = block mass, V = bullet velocity upon incoming, and v = the block and bullet velocity (ideal without losses) is the answer you are looking for. Thus, v = V(m/(m + M)) is what you want. m = Mb, M = Mw, and V = Vi.

kow [346]

Answer:

Technician A and B are correct

Explanation:

Technician A is correct because the system app is used to calculate the amount of fuel required to go with the airflow.

Technician B is correct because Maf is incorporated with a sensor for detecting the amount of airflow.
