The thermal efficiency of an engine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work

In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}= \frac{200 J}{600 J}=0.33 = 33 \%

ahrayia [7]
The reaction of reduction always undergoes with the cathode, the positive ion will migrate towards the cathode with the negative charge whilst the anode always has oxidation reaction. These two types of reaction does not change.

Are switches connected in series or parallel with the devices they control?
andrezito [222]

In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.  

But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.  

Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect <em>in series</em> with the devices they control.

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

80 Ω.

Explanation:

In this circuit the resistances are in series.The equivalent resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistances. Req= 60 + 20 = 80 Ω.

A person is lying on a diving board 3.50 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

1.995 m

Explanation:

Distance of penny as seen by the person = 5 m

Height of person from water surface = 3.50 m

Apparent depth of penny = 5 - 3.50 = 1.5 m

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

real depth / apparent depth = n

real depth = 1.33 x 1.5 = 1.995 m

Thus, the actual depth of water at that point is 1.995 m.
