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%

Two wires are parallel and one is directly above the other. Each has a length of 50.0 m and a mass per unit length of 0.020 kg/m
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: The time required for the impluse passing through each other is approximately 0.18seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Length,L = 50m

M/L = 0.020kg/m

FA = 5.7×10^2N

FB = 2.5×10^2N

The sum of distance travelled by each pulse must be 50m since each pulse started from opposite ends.

Ca(t) + CB(t) = 50

Where CA and CB are the velocities of the wire A and B

t = 50/ (CA + CB)

But C = Sqrt(FL/M)

Substituting gives:

t = 50/ (Sqrt( FAL/M) + Sqrt(FBL/M))

t = 50/(Sqrt 5.7×10^2/0.02) + (Sqrt(2.5×10^2/0.02))

t = 50 / (168.62 + 111.83)

t = 50/280.15

t = 0.18 seconds

When a car's velocity is positive and its acceleration is negative, what is happening to the car's motion?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Assuming rightward is positive, the velocity is positive whenever the car is moving to the right, and the velocity is negative whenever the car is moving to the left. The acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity if the car is speeding up, and in the opposite direction if the car is slowing down.
