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%.

Can you make the work output of a machine greater than the work input?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

It is<em> impossible</em> to construct a machine which produces the <em>work output greater than the work input.</em>

Let us consider the II law of thermodynamics.

According to Kelvin Plank's statement any engine/machine does not give hundred percent efficiency. And violating the PMM-II(Perpetual motion of machine II kind), Always some amount of energy transferred  to the sink or surroundings.

Therefore

                     W(ouput) = Q₁-Q₂

There are many reasons to lower the work output, just for an example friction between the mating parts reduces the work output.

Three masses are located in the x-y plane as follows: a mass of 6 kg is located at (0 m, 0 m), a mass of 4 kg is located at (3 m
Natali [406]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. (1m, 0.5m)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a system of particles is the point where the weight acts when the individual particles are replaced by a single particle of equivalent mass. For the three masses, the coordinates of the center of mass C(x, y) is given by;

x = (m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃) / M       ----------------(i)

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂ + m₃y₃) / M       ----------------(ii)

Where;

M = sum of the masses

m₁ and x₁ = mass and position of first mass in the x direction.

m₂ and x₂ = mass and position of second mass in the x direction.

m₃ and x₃ = mass and position of third mass in the x direction.

y₁ , y₂ and y₃ = positions of the first, second and third masses respectively in the y direction.

From the question;

m₁ = 6kg

m₂ = 4kg

m₃ = 2kg

x₁ = 0m

x₂ = 3m

x₃ = 0m

y₁ = 0m

y₂ = 0m

y₃ = 3m

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12kg

Substitute these values into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

x = ((6x0) + (4x3) + (2x0)) / 12

x = 12 / 12

x = 1 m  

y = (6x0) + (4x0) + (2x3)) / 12

y = 6 / 12

y = 0.5m

Therefore, the center of mass of the system is at (1m, 0.5m)

An oil film with refractive index 1.48 and thickness 290 nm is floating on water and illuminated with white light at normal inci
VikaD [51]

Answer:

572.3 nm

Explanation:

n_{oil} = refractive index of the oil film = 1.48

t_{oil} = thickness of the oil film = 290 nm

\lambda = wavelength of the dominant color

m = order

Using the equation

2 n_{oil} t_{oil} = (m + 0.5) \lambda

For m = 0

2 (1.48) (290) = (0 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 1716.8 nm

For m = 1

2 (1.48) (290) = (1 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 572.3 nm

For m = 2

2 (1.48) (290) = (2 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 343.4 nm

Hence the dominant color wavelength is 572.3 nm
