(d) If η = 40% and TH = 427°C, what is TC, in °C?

Physics

Brrunno [24]3 years ago

Answer:

T_C=256.2^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given that,

Efficiency of heat engine, \eta=40\%=0.4

Temperature of hot source, T_H=427^{\circ}C

We need to find the temperature of cold sink i.e. T_C. The efficiency of heat engine is given by :

\eta=1-\dfrac{T_C}{T_H}

T_C=(1-\eta)T_H

T_C=(1-0.4)\times 427

T_C=256.2^{\circ}C

So, the temperature of the cold sink is 256.2°C. Hence, this is the required solution.

States that Earth processes today are similar to those that took place in the past
Maslowich

Answer;

Uniformitarianism

Explanation;

-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change.  For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.

James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.

5. An object has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg. It crashes into another object that has a mass of 100 kg, and
marishachu [46]

Answer:

D. 18.60

Explanation:

By the law of conservation, the momentum is neither loss nor gained but instead transfered. When they crash into each other, and stick, they combine to create a total mass of 215 kg. Since the momentum is transfered, the two objects, combined, have a total momentum of 4000 kg-m/s. We know that momentum equals mass times velocity. You then divide 4000 by 215 and get approximately 18.6 m/s
