Your car's engine is a heat engine; it converts the thermal energy from burning fuel into energy to move your car and power its

systems. On a cold winter day, you needn't feel guilty about cranking up the heat in your car; running the heater doesn't cost any additional energy beyond the small amount needed to run the fan. Explain why this is so.

Answer:

Explanation:

The efficiency of the heat engine is less than 100%. The heat engine converts the thermal energy from the burning of fuel to the mechanival energy. Thus, some of the energy gets lost as waste heat.

Hence, this waste heat is used up to heat up the interior of the car and person feels warmer in the car.

Thus, the waste heat generated in the engine is used for the heating of the car interior.

The cornea behaves as a thin lens of focal length approximately 1.80 {\rm cm}, although this varies a bit. The material of which
spayn [35]

Answer:

The height of the image will be "1.16 mm".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Object distance, u = 25 cm

Focal distance, f = 1.8 cm

On applying the lens formula, we get

⇒  \frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{f}

On putting estimate values, we get

⇒  \frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{(-25)} =\frac{1}{1.8}

⇒  \frac{1}{v} =\frac{1}{1.8} -\frac{1}{25}

⇒  v=1.94 \ cm

As a result, the image would be established mostly on right side and would be true even though v is positive.

By magnification,

m=\frac{v}{u} and m=\frac{h_{1}}{h_{0}}

⇒  \frac{v}{u} =\frac{h_{1}}{h_{0}}

⇒  \frac{1.94}{25}=\frac{{h_{1}}}{15}

⇒  {h_{1}}=1.16 \ mm

A 35 N force makes a 10 degree angle with the positive x-axis. What is the magnitude of the vertical component of the force?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

6.07 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 35 N

It makes 10 degree angle with the positive x-axis.

We need to find the magnitude of the vertical component of the force. It can be given by :

F_y=F\sin\theta\\\\=35\times \sin(10)\\\\=6.07\ N

So, the magnitude of the vertical component of the force is 6.07 N.
