A can opener makes work easier by increasing force.

Explanation

Technically a can opener is a simple lever that increases the force with which we remove the cap of the can. Levers are rod shaped objects with fulcrum at one end and the length of the lever has a positive impact on the force.

considering the equation

work=force*distance

indicates that increasing the length of the lever/can opener increases the work done by it.

Describe the valence electrons in nitrogen and how it could bond to other atoms?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Each nitrogen molecule consists of two atoms of nitrogen that are bonded by a triple covalent bond. This is because each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons. Each atom can complete its octet by sharing three electrons.

I hope this helps!

They create a heat engine where the hot reservoir is filled with water and steam at equilibrium, and the cold reservoir is fille

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The efficiency of Carnot's heat engine is 26.8 %.

Explanation:

Temperature of hot reservoir, TH = 100 degree C = 373 K

temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 0 degree C = 273 K

The efficiency of Carnot's heat engine is

$\eta = 1-\frac{Tc}{T_H}\\\\\eta = 1 -\frac{273}{373}\\\\\eta = 0.268 =26.8 %$

The efficiency of Carnot's heat engine is 26.8 %.
