An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 88 m long. The accident occurred on a rainy
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

distance d = 88 m

Kinetic friction = 0.42

We need to calculate the the speed of the car

Using  the work-energy principle

work done = change in kinetic energy

W=\Delta K.E

\mu\ mg\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2=2\mu g d

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times0.42\times9.8\times88}

v=26.91\ m/s

Hence, The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

Before being engulfed, matter that is pulled into a black hole should become very hot and emit _____.
miss Akunina [59]
A black hole is a cosmological object that is created when a massive star comes to the end of its life and collapses under its own gravity. Black holes have massive gravitational fields  that even light cannot escape beyond a certain distance. Before being engulfed, matter that is pulled into a black hole should become very hot and emit electromagnetic radiation.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 48 and its mass number is 167?
lys-0071 [83]
If its atomic number is 48, then it has 48 protons in the nucleus
of each atom.  Any more mass than that is supplied by the neutrons
that are mixed in there with the protons.

If the mass is 167, and 48 of those are protons, then there are

             (167 - 48)  =  119 neutrons

in each nucleus.
