A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost
due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows
the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having
a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.
Answer:
Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s
Explanation:
Escape speed
Here we have
Gravitational constant = G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²
R = 1 AU = 1.496 × 10¹¹ m
M = 2.3 × 10³⁰ kg
Substituting
Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s
The correct answer among the choices given is option B. The energy transformation that occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor is from nuclear energy to thermal energy. In a power plant nuclear fission which involves nuclear energy to heat up water around it. This part is the core of the process.
The given mass is 0.025563 g.
Examine the given choices.
a. 0.026 g
This uses 2 significant digits, with rounding to the 3rd decimal place.
b. 2.5 x 10² g = 250 g.
It is incorrect.
c. 0.025 g.
This uses 2 significant digits. It is inaccurate because it does not use rounding to the 3rd decimal place.
d. 0.02 g
This uses one significant digit. It is incorrect for representing the given data.
Answer: a. 0.026 g
