rvoir, which has a temperature of 615 K and delivers 1248 J of heat to each engine. Find (a), (b) the magnitude of the work produced by engine A and B respectively and (c), (d) the temperatures of the cold reservoirs that they use.

Answer:

710.79 Joules

898.56 Joules

264.45 K

172.2 K

Explanation:

W = Work done

Q = Heat added = 1248 J

$T_h$ = Temperature of hot reservoir = 615 K

$T_c$ = Temperature of cold reservoir

Efficiencies of engine A and B

$\eta_A$ = 0.57

$\eta_B$ = 0.72

Efficiency is given by

$\eta=\frac{W}{Q}\\\Rightarrow W=\eta Q\\\Rightarrow W=0.57\times 1248\\\Rightarrow W=711.36\ J$

Work done by engine A is 710.79 Joules

$\eta=\frac{W}{Q}\\\Rightarrow W=\eta Q\\\Rightarrow W=0.72\times 1248\\\Rightarrow W=898.56\ J$

Work done by engine B is 898.56 Joules

Efficiency

$\eta=1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}\\\Rightarrow 0.57=1-\frac{T_c}{615}\\\Rightarrow T_c=-0.43\times -615\\\Rightarrow T_c=264.45\ K$

The temperature of the cold reservoir is 264.45 K

$\eta=1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}\\\Rightarrow 0.72=1-\frac{T_c}{615}\\\Rightarrow T_c=-0.28\times -615\\\Rightarrow T_c=172.2\ K$

The temperature of the cold reservoir is 172.2 K

How an application of atmospheric device work?example siphon

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

A practical siphon, operating at typical atmospheric pressures and tube heights, works because gravity pulling down on the taller column of liquid leaves reduced pressure at the top of the siphon (formally, hydrostatic pressure when the liquid is not moving).

I hope it's helpful!

For crystal diffraction experiments, wavelengths on the order of 0.25 nm are often appropriate.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

A) E = 4.96 x 10³ eV

B) E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV

C) E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV

Explanation:

A)

For photon energy is given as:

$E = hv$

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of photon = ?

h = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = wavelength = 0.25 nm = 0.25 x 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore,

$E = \frac{(6.625 x 10^{-34} J.s)(3 x 10^8 m/s)}{0.25 x 10^{-9} m}$

$E = (7.95 x 10^{-16} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})$

<u>E = 4.96 x 10³ eV</u>

<u></u>

B)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

$E = m_{0}c^2$

where,

E = Energy of electron = ?

m₀ = rest mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$E = (9.1 x 10^{-31} kg)(3 x 10^8 m/s)^2\\$

$E = (8.19 x 10^{-14} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\$

<u>E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV</u>

<u></u>

C)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

$E = m_{0}c^2$

where,

E = Energy of alpha particle = ?

m₀ = rest mass of alpha particle = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$E = (6.64 x 10^{-27} kg)(3 x 10^8 m/s)^2\\$

$E = (5.97 x 10^{-10} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\$

<u>E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV</u>

At the intersection of Texas Avenue and University Drive,

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The initial speed of the truck is 21.93 m/s, and the initial speed of the car is 19.524 m/s

Explanation:

We can use conservation of momentum to find the initial velocities.

Taking the unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing north and $\hat{j}$ pointing east, the final velocity will be

$\vec{V}_f = 16.0 \frac{m}{s} \ ( \ cos(24.0 \°) \ , \ sin (24.0 \°) \ )$

$\vec{V}_f = ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

The final linear momentum will be:

$\vec{P}_f = (m_{car}+ m_{truck}) * V_f$

$\vec{P}_f = (950 \ kg \ + 1900 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = (2.850 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

As there are not external forces, the total linear momentum must be constant.

So:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

As initially the car is travelling east, and the truck is travelling north, the initial linear momentum must be

$\vec{P}_0= ( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} )$

so:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

$( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} ) = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

so

$\left \{ {{m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} } \atop {m_{car} \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} }} \right.$

So, for the truck

$m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$1900 \ kg \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}$

$v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}$

$v_{truck} = 21.93 \frac{m}{s}$

And, for the car

$950 \ kg \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{car}=\frac{18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{950 \ kg}$

$v_{car}=19.524 \frac{m}{s}$

A ruby laser delivers a 16.0-ns pulse of 4.20-MW average power. If the photons have a wavelength of 694.3 nm, how many are conta

stepan [7]

Answer:

The value is $n = 2.347 *10^{17} \ photons$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The amount of power delivered is $P = 4.20 \ M W = 4.20 *10^{6} \ W$

The time taken is $t = 16.0ns = 16.0 *10^{-9} \ s$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 694.3 \ nm = 694.3 *10^{-9} \ m$

Generally the energy delivered is mathematically represented as

$E = P * t = \frac{n * h * c }{\lambda }$

Where $h$ is the Planck's constant with value $h = 6.262 *10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$

c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/s$

So

$4.20 *10^{6} * 16*10^{-9}= \frac{n * 6.626 *10^{-34} * 3.0*10^{8} }{694.3 *10^{-9}}$

=> $n = 2.347 *10^{17} \ photons$
