Answer: A. 200J

Therefore, the workdone by the heat engine is 200J

Explanation:

Given ;

The efficiency of the heat engine is E = 20% = 0.2

Heat loss L= 800J

For an heat engine the efficiency is measured by the amount of workdone by the heat engine when compared to the heat generated.

Efficiency E = workdone/heat generated × 100%

Heat generated G= workdone W + heat loss L

G = W + L

According to the question.

W = 20% of G

W = 0.2G ......1

L = 80% of G

L = 0.8G

G = L/0.8 ......2

Substituting equation 2 to 1

W = 0.2(L/0.8)

And L = 800J

W = 0.2(800/0.8)

W = 200J

Therefore, the workdone by the heat engine is 200J

A wave can be described as
rewona [7]
A wave can be described as the disturbance of particles in an area. Think about it this way: particles (matter) carry energy. For all the laws of physics to work, this energy must be "traded" somehow. This happens by miniscule vibrations in the particles, which are apparent disturbances. This creates a wave, and therefore a wave is, indeed, a disturbance.<span />

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall rather that form a surf zone. What does this tell
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall and not form surfs because of the steepness of the shorelines. Long period waves wont form surfs at steep shores because of the breaking and unstability of waves. Wave breaks at the shallow waters. The breaking of the waves depends upon H/L ratio.
