Answer:

Part A: D

Part B: W = Qh - Qc

Part C: e = 1 - Qc/Qh

Explanation:

The heat engine is the engine that transforms heat (Q) in work (W), and by the second law of the thermodynamics, its efficiency can not be 100%, it means that some heat must be dissipated.

Part A:

The engine works with two sources of heat, one hot (Qh) at a hot temperature (Th) and another cold (Qc) at a cold temperature (Tc). It is necessary so, the hot source will give energy to the fluid of the engine, and the cold source will be the source where these heat will dissipate and the fluid will return to its original temperature. So,

Qh > Qc, and Th > Tc

Part B:

The ideal heat engine is the one that can use the most amount of heat to transform it at work. It is characterized by Qh/Qc = Th/Tc.

The work is the useful energy, so it is the total heat (Qh) less the heat dissipated (Qc):

W = Qh - Qc

Part C:

The effiency is the useful energy divided by the total energy. Because W = Qh - Qc:

e = W/Qh

e = (Qh - Qc)/Qh

e = Qh/Qh - Qc/Qh

e = 1 - Qc/Qh

Match the following vocabulary words with their definitions:
Ronch [10]

Correct matching:


1 acceleration --> rate of change in velocity, which is the change in velocity divided by the change in time

2. speed --> the rate at which an object changes position when traveling in a certain direction

4. gravity --> force of attraction between all masses in the universe

5. Inertia --> an object´s resistance to a change in motion

3. friction --> force of resistance acting between objects in contact and tending to dampen their motion

6. velocity --> the rate at which an object changes position

I need help with these Physics problems​
adoni [48]

Answer:

1. 3 m

2. 27 s

Explanation:

1. "A car traveling at +33 m/s sees a red light and has to stop.  If the driver can accelerate at -5.5 m/s², how far does it travel?"

Given:

v₀ = 33 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5.5 m/s²

Unknown: Δx

To determine the equation you need, look for which variable you don't have and aren't solving for.  In this case, we aren't given time and aren't solving for time.  So look for an equation that doesn't have t in it.

Equation: v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute and solve:

(0 m/s)² = (33 m/s)² + 2(-5.5 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 3 m

2. "A plane starting from rest at one end of a runway accelerates at 4.8 m/s² for 1800 m.  How long did it take to accelerate?"

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 4.8 m/s²

Δx = 1800 m

Unknown: t

Equation: Δx = v₀ t + ½ a t²

Substitute and solve:

1800 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.8 m/s²) t²

t ≈ 27 s

Radioactive isotopes can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, or other artifacts. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1/8 = (1/2)^3

This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives

3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years
