True or false? objects that are sitting still have kinetic energy

1 answer:

5 0

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion. An object sitting still isn't moving, therefore it has no kinetic energy. The statement in the question is false.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The beat frequency is

df = f2 - f1

the wavelength is

lamda1 = (v/f1)

and lamda2 = (v/f2)

where v = 340 m/s,f1 = 25.0 kHz and f2 = 20.0 kHz

A heat engine (Power Cycle) with a thermal efficiency of 35 percent efficiency produces 750 kJ of work. Heat transfer to the eng

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) The schematic illustrating is attached

b) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 2142.86 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 1392.86 kJ

c) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 1648.35 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 898.35 kJ

Explanation:

b) The heat transfer to the engine and the heat transfer from the engine to the air is:

$Q_{1} =\frac{W}{n}$

Where

W = 750 kJ

n = 35% = 0.25

Replacing:

$Q_{1} =\frac{750}{0.35} =2142.86kJ$

$Q_{2} =Q_{1} -W=2142.86-750=1392.86kJ$

c) The efficiency of Carnot engine is:

$n=1-\frac{300K}{550K} =0.455$

The heat transfer to the heat engine is:

$Q_{1c} =\frac{750}{0.455} =1648.35kJ$

The heat transfer from the heat engine is:

$Q_{2c} =1648.35-750=898.35kJ$

What name is given to a fuel made from living organisms or their waste??

Anni [7]

The name given to a fuel made from living organisms or their waste is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels, in the form of oil and coal, have been utilised by mankind for approximately 100 years in order to produce energy. Today, there is a shift to more renewable energy sources such as solar, wind or wave power.
