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%.

A 50kg girl is playing soccer. She runs towards the ball at a speed of 7 m/s. How much kinetic energy does she have as she runs
stepladder [879]
The calculation for kinetic energy is this

KE = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2(50)(7^2)

KE = 1/2(49•50)

KE = 1225 kgm^2/s^2.

Or simply 1225 J.

She possess this much energy when she runs.

A test of the prototype of a new automobile shows that the minimum distance for a controlled stop from 95 km/h to zero is 55 m.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

-0.64525g

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to stop

u = Initial velocity = 95 km/h

v = Final velocity = 0 km/h

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-95^2}{2\times 0.055}\\\Rightarrow a=-82045.45\ km/h^2

Converting to m/s²

a=82045.45=\frac{82045.45\times 1000}{3600\times 3600}=-6.33\ m/s^2

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Dividing both the accelerations, we get

\frac{a}{g}=\frac{-6.33}{9.81}=-0.64525\\\Rightarrow a=-0.64525g

Hence, acceleration of the car is -0.64525g

Answer:E.

a straight line sloping upward (atmospheric CO2 levels would not seasonally oscillate, but would have increased over time)

Explanation: Photosynthesis is the process through which green plants and certain other organisms make their food using carbon dioxide and water in the he presence of Sunlight.

During photosynthesis, energy conversion from light energy into chemical energy takes place.

Photosynthesis is one of the major processes that helps to eliminate and reduce the quantity of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,it also serve to make oxygen present in the atmosphere.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
noname [10]

Question:

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

Answer:

The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³

Explanation:

Here, we have mass density of cloud  =  2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density =   If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have

28 kg water = 28000 g

Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.
