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%

A force did 80 j of work on an object in 4 m how big was the force
yanalaym [24]

Work = (force) x (distance)

80 J = (force) x (4 m)

Force = (80 J) / (4 m)  =  20 N

That's IF the force was in the same direction as the 4m of motion.
If the force was kind of slanted, then it had to be stronger, and
it had a component of 20N in the direction of the motion.

A long, straight metal rod has a radius of 5.75 cm and a charge per unit length of 33.3 nC/m. Find the electric field at the fol
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question;

We will make assumptions of certain values since they are not given but the process to achieve the end result will be the same thing.

We are to calculate the following task, i.e. to determine the electric field at the distances:

a)  at 4.75 cm

b)  at 20.5 cm

c) at 125.0 cm

Given that:

the charge (q) = 33.3 nC/m

= 33.3 × 10⁻⁹ c/m

radius of rod = 5.75 cm

a) from the given information, we will realize that the distance lies inside the rod. Provided that there is no charge distribution inside the rod.

Then, the electric field will be zero.

b) The electric field formula E = \dfrac{kq }{d}

E = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times (33.3 \times 10^{-9}) }{0.205}

E = 1461.95 N/C

c) The electric field E is calculated as:

E = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times (33.3 \times 10^{-9}) }{1.25}

E = 239.76 N/C

What is the first semiconductor
madam [21]
<span>
English "natural philosopher" (the contemporary term for physicist) Michael Faraday is renowned for his discovery of the principles of electro-magnetic induction and electro-magnetic rotation, the interaction between electricity and magnetism that led to the development of the electric motor and generator. The unit of measurement of electrical capacitance - the farad (F) - is named in his honor. Faraday's experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene, also led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a semiconductor. While investigating the effect of temperature on "sulphurette of silver" (silver sulfide) in 1833 he found that electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature. This effect, typical of semiconductors, is the opposite of that measured in metals such as copper, where conductivity decreases as temperature is increased. In a chapter entitled "On Conducting Power Generally" in his book Experimental Researches in Electricity Faraday writes "I have lately met with an extraordinary case ... which is in direct contrast with the influence of heat upon metallic bodies ... On applying a lamp ... the conducting power rose rapidly with the heat ... On removing the lamp and allowing the heat to fall, the effects were reversed." We now understand that raising the temperature of most semiconductors increases the density of charge carriers inside them and hence their conductivity. This effect is used to make thermistors - special resistors that exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature. <span> Next Milestone </span> Contemporary Documents <span> <span>Faraday, M.

needhelpp101 Why is the gravitational potential energy of an object 1 meter above the moon’s surface less than its potential ene
Vlad1618 [11]

If you remember the formula for potential energy,
then this question is a piece-o-cake.

  <em>Potential energy = (mass) x (<u>acceleration of gravity</u>) x (height) .</em>

-- The object's mass is the same everywhere.
-- You said that the height is the same both times.
-- How about the acceleration of gravity ? 

Compared to gravity on Earth, it's only  16.5 percent as much on the Moon. 
So naturally, from the formula, you'd expect the Potential Energy to be less
on the Moon.
