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%.

When resting, a person has a metabolic rate of about 3.0 105 joules per hour. The person is submerged neck-deep into a tub conta
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The temperature after half an hour is 19.3002^{\circ}

Solution:

As per the question;

Metabolic rate of the person is 3.0105 J/h

Temperature, T = 19.30^{\circ}

Mass of the water, m_{w} = 1.2103 kg

Time duration, t = 0.5 h = 30 min = 180 s

Now,

Heat, Q = ms\Delta t

Thus heat transfer in half an hour:

Q = 3.0105\times 0.5 = 1.505 J

Now, the temperature of water after half an hour, T' is given by:

Q = m_{w}s\Delta T = ms(T' - T)

where

s = 4186 J

1.505 = 1.21103\times 4186\times (T' - 19.30^{\circ})

T' = 19.3002 ^{\circ}

Anna pushes a box with a force of 8.00 newtons. She generates a power of 3.00 watts. How much time does it take for Anna to move
QveST [7]
Power is the energy in a system per time.  It will have units of Watts which is equal to joules per second. It can be expressed as:

P = E / t

where E = Force x distance

P = Fd / t
t = Fd / P
t = 8 (9.72) / 3.0
t = 25.92 s

A car slows down from 80 km/h to 60 km/h in 2 seconds.
Andreyy89

Answer:

please mark brainlist

Explanation:

Initial speed   u=80 km/h=80×185=22.22 m/s

Final speed    v=60 km/h=60×185=16.67 m/s

Using   v=u+at

Or   16.67=22.22+α×5

⟹ a=−1.1 m/s2

Explain how the plants of a tropical rain forest contribute to the characteristic hot, humid weather associated with the area. U
Talja [164]

Answer: The atmosphere of trophic rainforest is hot and humid due to high rate of transpiration.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is a biome which exhibit rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The average temperatures in this region remain high with warm summer. It remains frost free. The soil is nutrient deficient. Due to hot temperature the rate of transpiration remains high as a result the concentration of the water vapors remain high. This is responsible for increasing the humidity in the atmosphere also this region receives appreciable amount of rainfall annually. The average rainfall range is 200-450 centimeters.
