A proposed ocean thermal-energy conversion (OTEC) system is a heat engine that would operate between warm water (16°C) at the oc

ean's surface and cooler water (6°C) 1,300 m below the surface. What is the maximum possible efficiency of the system? Enter your answer accurate to two decimal places.

Answer:

3.46 %

Explanation:

We have given cooler temperature that is T_c = 6°C =273+6=279 K

And the warm temperature of water that is T_h=16^{\circ}C=16+273=289\ K

The maximum possible efficiency is given by \eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

So maximum efficiency \eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}=1-\frac{279}{289}=0.0346=3.46 %

4. Identify Problems A student is describing a longitudinal wave in his notebook. He
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

 "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

Explanation:

If he writes down "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

That means he is describing the wavelength of a wave and not longitudinal wave. He ought to write something about " direction "

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or parallel to, the direction of propagation of the wave. While

Wavelength is the distance between the two successfully Crest or trough

A 58 g firecracker is at rest at the origin when it explodes into three pieces. The first, with mass 12 g , moves along the x ax
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of momentum law in vector form to solve the problem .

Initial momentum = 0

momentum of 12 g piece

= .012 x 37 i since it moves along x axis .

= .444 i

momentum of 22 g

= .022 x 34 j

= .748 j

Let momentum of third piece = p

total momentum

= p + .444 i + .748 j

so

applying conservation law of momentum

p + .444 i + .748 j  = 0

p = - .444 i -  .748 j  

magnitude of p

= √ ( .444² + .748² )

= .87 kg m /s

mass of third piece = 58 - ( 12 + 22 )

= 24 g = .024 kg

if v be its velocity

.024 v = .87

v = 36.25 m / s .

In which phase of mitosis are chromosome first seen as a result of chromatin coiling?
Kruka [31]
<span>Mitosis is a a means for cells to split and produce exact copies of themselves. The process produces two identical copies of the original cell and occurs throughout the human body. Mitosis is divided up into four main phases known as prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The chromosomes first become visible in early prophase.</span>

Explain the following defects of a simple electric cell:
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.

a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.

b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.
