There has long been an interest in using the vast quantities of thermal energy in the oceans to run heat engines. A heat engine

needs a temperature difference, a hot side and a cold side. Conveniently, the ocean surface waters are warmer than the deep ocean waters. Suppose you build a floating power plant in the tropics where the surface water temperature is ~ 35.0 C. This would be the hot reservoir of the engine. For the cold reservoir, water would be pumped up from the ocean bottom where it is always ~ 5.00 C.
What is the maximum possible efficiency of such a power plant?

Answer:

Explanation:

The maximum efficient power plant will be the plant based on carnot cycle whose efficiency is given by the following formula

Efficiency = (T₁ - T₂)  / T₁

T₁ is temperature of hot reservoir and T₂ is temperature of cold reservoir.

Putting the given values

efficiency of power plant = (35 - 5) / (273 + 35 )

= 30 / 308

= .097

= 9.7 %

The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply
kykrilka [37]

Answer: Got It!

<em>Explanation:  </em>let s = speed at launch

v = 0 at top = s sin 63 - g t

so at top

t = s sin 63/g = .0909 s

h = 13.6 = s sin 63 t - 4.9 t^2

13.6 = .081s^2 - .0405 s^2

s^2 = 336

s = 18.3 m/s

A uniform electric field contains a number of particles. All are experiencing forces in the same direction as the electric field
myrzilka [38]

Answer: D

All the particles must be uncharged

Explanation:

If all the particles are positively charged, then there will be force of repulsion between them which will give different directions away from each other. The same is applicable if they are all negatively charged.

If the particles are positively and negatively charged, their will be force of attraction between them which will give different directions towards each other.

For all to be experiencing forces in the same direction, We can conclude that

All the particles must be uncharged.

Two cars, one of mass 1100 kg, and the second of mass 2500 kg, are moving at right angles to each other when they collide and st
Pie

Answer:

v_{f}=17.47 m/s

Explanation:

Let's use the conservation of momentum to solve it.

p_{initial}= p_{final} (1)

  • The total initial momentum will be: m_{1}v_{1i}+m_{2}v_{2i}
  • The total final momentum will be: m_{1}v_{1f}+m_{2}v_{2f}, but as they stick together after the collision, v1f = v2f = vf.

So we can rewrite (1), using the above information:

m_{1}v_{1i}+m_{2}v_{2i}=m_{1}v_{f}+m_{2}v_{f}

m_{1}v_{1i}+m_{2}v_{2i}=v_{f}(m_{1}+m_{2})

v_{f}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1i}+m_{2}v_{2i}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

v_{f}=\frac{1100\cdot 14+2500\cdot 19}{1100+2500}

Finally, the magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage of the two cars immediately after the collision is:

v_{f}=17.47 m/s

I hope it helps you!
