The maximum efficiency is 10%

Explanation:

The maximum efficiency of a machine is given by:

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

where

$T_H$ is the temperature of the hot reservoir

$T_C$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the machine in this problem, we have:

$T_H=400K$ is the temperature of the hot reservoir

$T_C=360K$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

substituting, we find the max efficiency:

$\eta=1-\frac{360}{400}=0.1$

So, the efficiency is 0.10 (10%).

What is the total energy of a particle with a rest mass of 1 gram moving with half the speed of light? 1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J. An

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

6.5 x 10^32 eV

Explanation:

mass of particle, mo = 1 g = 0.001 kg

velocity of particle, v = half of velocity of light = c / 2

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Energy associated to the particle

E = γ mo c^2

$E=\frac{m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$E=\frac{m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^{2}}{4c^{2}}}}$

$E=\frac{2m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{3}}$

$E=\frac{2\times0.001\times9\times10^{16}}{1.732}$

$E=1.04\times10^{14}J$

Convert Joule into eV

1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J

So, $E=\frac{1.04\times10^{14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}=6.5\times10^{32}eV$

9. A Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table. How long does it take to hit the floor if no one sneezes? Wh

Paha777 [63]

By Considering the vertical distance and both vertical and horizontal final velocity, the time t = 0.45 s and Velocity V = 6.7 m/s

Given that a Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table.

Height h = 1.0 m

As the ball rolls off the table, it will be fallen under gravity. Where

g = 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$

Initial vertical velocity $u_{y}$ = 0

Initial horizontal velocity $u_{x}$ = 5 m/s

Considering the vertical distance, the formula to use to calculate the time will be;

h = ut + 1/2g $t^{2}$

1 = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8 $t^{2}$

1 = 4.9 $t^{2}$

$t^{2}$ = 1/4.9

t = $\sqrt{0.204}$

t = 0.45 seconds

It takes 0.45 seconds to hit the floor if no one sneezes.

To calculate its velocity when it hits the floor, we will need to calculate for both vertical and horizontal final velocity and find the resultant velocity of the two.

Vertical component

$V_{y}$ = $U_{y}$ + gt

$V_{y}$ = 0 + 9.8(0.45)

$V_{y}$ = 4.41 m/s

Horizontal component

$V_{x}$ = $u_{x}$ + at

but a = 0

$V_{x}$ = 5 m/s

Final velocity V = $\sqrt{5^{2} + 4.41^{2} }$

V = 6.67 m/s

Therefore, it will hit the floor at a velocity of 6.7 m/s
