Answer:

efficiency of engine is 0.21

Explanation:

given:

Th=980 K

Tc=570 K

since efficiency of engine is given as:

n=3/5*n_m

 =3/5(1-Tc/Th)

 =0.21

efficiency of engine is 0.21

Answer:

E = 0.251 or 25.1%

The efficiency of the engine is 0.251 or 25.1%

Explanation:

Maximum Efficiency of an engine can be expressed as;

Em = workdone/heat energy supplied

Em = 1 - Qc/Qh = 1 - Tc/Th

Given;

Tc = cold temperature = 570K

Th = hot temperature = 980K

Substituting the values;

Em = 1 - 570/980

Em = 0.4184

But the engine operates at three-fifths the maximum efficiency

E = 3/5 × Em

Substituting Em

E = 3/5 × 0.4184

E = 0.251 or 25.1%

The efficiency of the engine is 0.251 or 25.1%

If the Sun suddenly went dark, we would not know it until its light stopped arriving on Earth. How long would that be, in second
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: 500 s

Explanation:

Speed v is defined as a relation between the distance d and time t:

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

v=3(10)^{8}m/s is the speed of light in vacuum

d=1.5(10)^{11}m is the distance between the Earth and Sun

t is the time it takes to the light to travel the distance d

Isolating t:

t=\frac{d}{v}

t=\frac{1.5(10)^{11}m}{3(10)^{8}m/s}

Finally:

t=500 s

When you apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed ().When you apply a f
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed. So net force on the block is zero .

It implies that a force ( frictional ) acts on it which is equal to 76 N in opposite direction ( friction )

When we apply  a greater force on it it starts moving with acceleration .

This time kinetic friction acts on it due to rough ground equal to 76 N .This is limiting friction ( maximum friction )

Net force on the body in later case

= 89 - 76

= 13 N

Force by ground on the block in horizontal direction = 76 N ( FRICTIONAL FORCE )

The magnitude of the voltage induced in a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field depends on the _______ and the __
Virty [35]

The correct answer is: Option (D) length, speed

Explanation:

According to Faraday's Law of Induction:

ξ = Blv

Where,

ξ = Emf Induced

B = Magnetic Induction

l = Length of the conductor

v = Speed of the conductor.

As you can see that ξ (Emf/voltage induction) is directly proportional to the length and the speed of the conductor. Therefore, the correct answer will be Option (D) Length, Speed

True or False: Amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A. False, frequency can increase or decrease wavelength.

For example: a high frequency would mean there are shorter wavelengths that occur in a period. Meanwhile, a low frequency would indicate that the wavelengths are longer and in longer periods.

A car approaches you at a constant speed, sounding its horn, and you hear a frequency of 76 Hz. After the car goes by, you hear
Talja [164]

Answer:

70.07 Hz

Explanation:

Since the sound is moving away from the observer then

f_o = f_s\frac {(v+vs)}{v} and f_o = f_s\frac {(v-vs)}{v} when moving towards observer

With f_o of 76 then taking speed in air as 343 m/s we have

76 = f_s\times\frac {(343-vs)}{343}

f_s=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}

Similarly, with f_o of 65 we have

65 = f_s\times\frac {(343+vs)}{343}\\f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}

Now

f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}

v_s=27.76 m/s

Substituting the above into  any of the first two equations then we obtain

f_s=70.07 Hz
