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%

what is your weight in newtons if your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules and your mass is 60 kg

Darina [25.2K]

Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.

If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.

Answer:

$t = 0.192 \mu m$

Explanation:

Path difference due to a transparent slab is given as

$\Delta x = (\mu - 1) t$

here we know that

$\mu = 1.79$

now total shift in the bright fringe is given as

$Shift = \frac{D(\mu - 1)t}{d}$

Also we know that the fringe width of maximum intensity is given as

$\delta x = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$

now we have

$\frac{D}{d} = \frac{\delta x}{\lambda}$

now the shift is given as

$Shift = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}$

given that the shift is

$Shift = 0.37 \delta x$

here we have

$0.37 \delta x = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}$

now plug in all values in it

$0.37 = \frac{(1.79 - 1) t}{411 \times 10^{-9}}$

$t = 0.192 \times 10^{-6} m$

$t = 0.192 \mu m$

A train traveling at 6.4 m/s accelerates at 0.10 m/s 2 over a distance of 100 m. How large is the train’s final velocity?

klasskru [66]

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

The given parameters;

initial velocity of the train, u = 6.4 m/s
acceleration of the train, a = 0.1 m/s²
distance traveled, s = 100 m

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

v² = (6.4)² + (2 x 0.1 x 100)

v² = 60.96

v = √60.96

v = 7.81 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

In 1976, the SR-71A, flying at 20 km altitude (T = –56 0C), set the official jet-powered aircraft speed record of 3530 km/hr (21

Lapatulllka [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.

The altitude is,

$z = 20km$

And the velocity can be written as,

$V = 3530km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})$

$V = 980.55m/s$

From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is

$T = 216.66K$

$k = 1.4$

$R = 287 J/kg$

Velocity of sound at this altitude is

$a = \sqrt{kRT}$

$a = \sqrt{(1.4)(287)(216.66)}$

$a = 295.049m/s$

Then the Mach number

$Ma = \frac{V}{a}$

$Ma = \frac{980.55}{296.049}$

$Ma = 3.312$

So front stagnation temperature

$T_0 = T(1+\frac{k-1}{2}Ma^2)$

$T_0 = (216.66)(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}*3.312^2)$

$T_0 = 689.87K$

Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K
