Answer:

e=58%

Explanation:

Given data

The Otto-cycle engine in a Mercedes-Benz SLK230 has a compression ratio of 8.8.

Solution

We want to calculate the ideal efficiency of the engine when ratio of heat capacity for gas used  γ=1.40. Ideal efficiency (e) of the Otto cycle given by:

e=1-(\frac{1}{r^{Y-1} } )\\

Substitute the given values to find efficiency e

e=1-\frac{1}{8.8^{1.4-1} } \\e=0.58\\

e=58%

The thrust of a certain boat’s engine generates a power of 10kW as the boat moves at constant speed 10ms through the water of a
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The change in power is 4400 W.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 10 kW

Speed = 10 m/s

Increases speed = 12 m/s

Given equation is,

F=kv

We know that,

The power is,

P=Fv

Put the value of F into the formula

P=(kv)v

P=kv^2

P\propto v^2

We need to calculate the new power

Using formula for power

\dfrac{P}{P'}=\dfrac{v^2}{v'^2}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{10}{P'}=(\dfrac{10}{12})^2

P'=(\dfrac{12}{10})^2\times10

P'=14.4\ kW

We need to calculate the change in power

Using formula of change in power

\Delta P=P'-P

Put the value into the formula

\Delta P=14.4-10

\Delta P=4.4\ kW

\Delta P=4.4\times1000

\Delta P=4400\ W

Hence, The change in power is 4400 W.

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increment in height.<br> give reason​
jekas [21]

Answer:

pressure=height × density×acc due to gravity

so

pressire is directly proportional to height hence it decreses with decrease in height

What is a circumpolar star? A)a star that is close to the north celestial pole a star that is close to the south celestial pole
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

A star that always remains above your horizon and appears to rotate around the celestial pole.

Explanation:

A) a star that is close to the north celestial pole: a circumpolar star could be close to the north celestial pole, but this answer is omitting the south celestial pole.

B) a star that is close to the south celestial pole: a circumpolar star could be close to the south celestial pole, but this answer is omitting the north celestial pole.

C) a star that always remains above your horizon and appears to rotate around the celestial pole: this is the definition of a circumpolar star.

D) a star that makes a daily circle around the celestial sphere: every star does this.

E) a star that is visible from the Arctic or Antarctic circles : there are many starts visible from there that are not circumpolar.
