Answer: The thermal efficiency of the engine is 41.09 %.

Explanation:

Efficiency is the ratio of the useful work performed to the total energy expended or heat taken in.

Formula for thermal efficiency of engine is

\eta=1- \frac{Q_2}{Q_1}\times 100

\eta = efficiency

{Q_2} = heat rejected = 266.7 kJ

{Q_1} = heat extracted = 452.8 kJ

Putting in the values we get:

\eta=1- \frac{266.7 kJ}{452.8 kJ }\times 100

\eta=0.41\times 100

\eta =41.09\%

The thermal efficiency of the engine is 41.09 %.

Assuming motion is on a straight path, what would result in two positive components of a vector?
erastovalidia [21]
Assuming motion is on a straight path, the result of two positive components of a vector would also be a positive value since both are having positive signs and directions. The direction would be the same with the motion as well. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A 50-gram sample of water is initially at a temperature of 22 °C. The sample is heated until the temperature is 32 °C The specif
forsale [732]

Answer:

500cal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 50g

Initial temperature  = 22°C

Final temperature  = 32°C

Specific heat of water  = 1cal/g

Unknown:

Amount of heat absorbed by the water in calories  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

       H  = m c Ф

H is the amount of heat absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the temperature change

       H  = 50 x 1 x (32  - 22)  = 500cal

Jack------------ force of 92.5 n   eastward-------Fjack(X)=92.5 n   Fjack(Y)=0

<span>jill ------------------------------- force of 89.9 n   northeast
Fjill(X)=cos45*89.9=63.57 n
</span>Fjill(Y)=sin45*89.9=63.57 n<span>

</span>jane -----------------------------force of 163 n   southeast
Fjane(X)=cos45*163=115.26 n
Fjane(X)=-sin45*163=-115.26 n

Ftotal (X)=92.5+63.57+115.26=271.33 n
Ftotal (Y)=0+63.57-115.26=-51.69 n

Fotal=((271.33)^2+(-115.26)^2) ^0.5=294.80 n southeast

the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. is 294.80 n southeast
