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

A radio station broadcast on a frequency of 3.7 mhz what is the energy of the radio wave
Ratling [72]

A radio station broadcast on a frequency of 3.7 mhz what is the energy of the radio wave A radio station broadcasts its programmes at a wavelength of 500 m. Find the frequency of the radiowaves transmitted by the radio station, if the speed of radiowaves in air is 3 x 108 m/s. Ans: 6 x 10 Hz

<h3>What is radio station ?</h3>

Radio broadcasting is the act of sending audio (sound), occasionally together with accompanying metadata, across radio waves to radio receivers used by the general public. Unlike satellite radio, which uses a satellite in Earth's orbit, terrestrial radio broadcasting uses a land-based radio station to transmit radio waves. The listener needs a broadcast radio receiver to hear the material (radio). A radio network with which stations frequently have affiliations provide content in a standard radio format, whether through broadcast syndication, simulcasting, or both. Radio stations use a variety of modulations to transmit their signals, including FM (frequency modulation), which is an older analog audio standard, and AM (amplitude modulation).

When a neutrally charged atom loses an electron to another atom, the result is the creation of

ionic compound. The atom that lost the electron becomes a cation, and the atom that gains an electron becomes an anion. The cation and anion bond together because they have opposite charges to form an ionic compound. The question may be looking for just cation or anion, though.

A truck moving at 6.0 m/s applies the brakes and stops after skidding 12.0 m.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

a) a= -1.5 m/s²

b) t = 4.0 s

Explanation:

a)

  • Since we are told that the deceleration is uniform, we can use the following kinematic equation:

        v_{f} ^{2} - v_{o} ^{2} = 2*a*\Delta X  (1)

  • Since the truck finally stops, this means that vf = 0.
  • Replacing the values of v₀, and Δx in (1), we can solve for a, as follows:

       a =\frac{-(v_{o}^{2})}{2*\Delta X} = \frac{-(6.0m/s)^{2} }{2* 12.0m} = -1.5 m/s2  (2)

b)

  • Since we know the value of the initial and final velocity, and the value of the acceleration also, we can apply the definition of acceleration, solving for time t, as follows:

       \Delta t = \frac{-v_{o}}{a} = \frac{-6.0m/s}{-1.5m/s2} = 4.0 s  (2)
