A particular car engine operates between temperatures of 440°C (inside the cylinders of the engine) and 20°C (the temperature of

the surroundings). Given these two temperatures, what is the maximum possible efficiency the car can have? (Note that actual car engine efficiencies are in the 20-25% range.) _______ %.

One of the concepts to be used to solve this problem is that of thermal efficiency, that is, that coefficient or dimensionless ratio calculated as the ratio of the energy produced and the energy supplied to the machine.

From the temperature the value is given as

\eta = 1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

Where,

T_L = Cold focus temperature

T_H = Hot spot temperature

Our values are given as,

T_L = 20\° C = (20+273) K = 293 K

T_H = 440\° C = (440+273) K = 713 K

Replacing we have,

\eta = 1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta = 1-\frac{293}{713}

\eta = 0.589

Therefore the maximum possible efficiency the car can have is 58.9%

Why is there no effect on other branches in a paral- lel circuit when one branch of the circuit is opened or closed?

Answer:

Explanation:

As the circuit is parallel, then there is no effect of other branches as the potential difference across each arm is same.

The electrostatic force between the two ions is 2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged particle is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, the ion of sodium has a charge of

q_1 = +e = +1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

while the ion of chlorine has a charge of

q_2 = -e = -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

And the distance between the two ions is

r=282 pm = 282\cdot 10^{-12} m

Substituting, we find the electrostatic force between the two ions:

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})}{(282\cdot 10^{-12})^2}=-2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N

where the negative sign simply means that the force is attractive, since the two ions have opposite charge.

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou
zlopas [31]

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

          r = 6 , 37 106 m

          E = k q / r²

          q = E r² / k

          q = \frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}

          q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

           r = 0.6 r_ Earth

           r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

           E = k q / r²

            q = E r² / k

            q = \frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}

            q = 3.6 10⁵  C
