The maximum theoretical efficiency of the system is the one corresponding to the efficiency of a Carnot cycle operating between the same temperatures of the system:
\eta=1- \frac{T_c}{T_h}
where T_c and T_h are the cold and hot temperatures, respectively.
In our problem, T_c=300 K and T_h=450 K, therefore the maximum theoretical efficiency is
\eta=1- \frac{300 K}{450 K}=0.33
So, 33%.

4A. How high is a 12 kg monkey in a tree if it has 509 J of gravitational potential Energy?
True [87]

4A. PE = MxGxH. (You can consider g as 9.8 / 10m/s as well)

509 J = 12x10xH

509 J = 120xH

H = 509/120

H = 4.24 m

Hope u got the answer....pls rate the answer if it is helpful for u....and I'm sorry I could not understand B part so I didn't do it.

Thank you

A charge q1 of -5.00 x 10^-9 C and a charge q2 of -2.00x 10^-9 C are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. Find the equilibrium po
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equilibrium position of third charge be x distance from q₁.

Force on third charge due to q₁

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x²

Force on third charge due to q₂

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

Both the force will act in opposite direction and for balancing , they should be equal.

9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x² = 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

5  / x² = 2 / ( .4 - x )²

Taking square root on both sides

2.236 / x = 1.414 / .4 - x

2.236 ( .4 - x ) = 1.414 x

.8944 - 2.236 x = 1.414 x

.8944 = 3.65 x

x = .245 m

24.5 cm

So the third charge should be at a distance of 24.5 cm from q₁ .

The total kinetic energy of two cars is measured before and after they crash into each other. The total kinetic energy of the tw
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.  

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.  

Hence, option B is correct

A bungee cord has a spring constant of 82.5 N/m. After jumping, a person oscillates with a period of 7.50 s. What is the mass of
Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π √ (m/k)

T / 2π = √ (m/k)

T√k = 2π √m

(T√k) / 2π = √m

( (T√k) / 2π)^2 = m

m = ( (7.5√82.5) / 2π)^2

m = 117.66 Kg
