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.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

x = 6.94 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can find the speed at the bottom of the ramp using energy conservation

Starting point. Higher

Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g h

Final point. Lower

$Em_{f}$ = K = ½ m v²

Em₀ = Em_{f}

½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²

v² = v₀² + 2 g h

Let's calculate

v = √(1.23² + 2 9.8 1.69)

v = 5.89 m / s

In the horizontal part we can use the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy

W = ΔK

-fr x = 0- ½ m v²

Newton's second law

N- W = 0

The equation for the friction is

fr = μ N

fr = μ m g

We replace

μ m g x = ½ m v²

x = v² / 2μ g

Let's calculate

x = 5.89² / (2 0.255 9.8)

x = 6.94 m

A radar station sends out a 250000 Hz sound wave at a speed of 340 m/s. The sound wave bounces off a weather ballon and returns

Eddi Din [679]

Answers:

a)The balloon is 68 m away of the radar station

b) The direction of the balloon is towards the radar station

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the Doppler shift equation:

$f'=\frac{V+V_{o}}{V-V_{s}} f$ (1)

Where:

$f=250,000 Hz$ is the actual frequency of the sound wave

$f'=240,000 Hz$ is the "observed" frequency

$V=340 m/s$ is the velocity of sound

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the velocity of the observer, which is stationary

$V_{s}$ is the velocity of the source, which is the balloon

Isolating $V_{s}$ :

$V_{s}=\frac{V(f'-f)}{f'}$ (2)

$V_{s}=\frac{340 m/s(240,000 Hz-250,000 Hz)}{240,000 Hz}$ (3)

$V_{s}=-14.16 m/s$ (4) This is the velocity of the balloon, note the negative sign indicates the direction of motion of the balloon: It is moving towards the radar station.

Now that we have the velocity of the balloon (hence its speed, the positive value) and the time ( $t=4.8 s$ ) given as data, we can find the distance:
