Answer:1200

Explanation:

Given data

Upper Temprature $\left ( T_H\right )=240^{\circ}\approx 513$

Lower Temprature $\left ( T_L\right )=20^{\circ}\approx 293$

Engine power ouput $\left ( W\right )=910 W$

Efficiency of carnot cycle is given by

$\eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$\eta =\frac{W_s}{Q_s}$

$1-\frac{293}{513}=\frac{910}{Q_s}$

$Q_s=2121.954 W$

$Q_r=1211.954 W$

rounding off to two significant figures

$Q_r=1200 W$

A hot-air balloon of diameter 12 mm rises vertically at a constant speed of 14 m/s. A passenger accidentally drops his camera fr

fgiga [73]

Answer:

<em>The balloon is 66.62 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Combined Motion </u>

The problem has a combination of constant-speed motion and vertical launch. The hot-air balloon is rising at a constant speed of 14 m/s. When the camera is dropped, it initially has the same speed as the balloon (vo=14 m/s). The camera has an upward movement for some time until it runs out of speed. Then, it falls to the ground. The height of an object that was launched from an initial height yo and speed vo is

$\displaystyle y=y_o+v_o\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}$

The values are

$\displaystyle y_o=15\ m$

$\displaystyle v_o=14\ m/s$

We must find the values of t such that the height of the camera is 0 (when it hits the ground)

$\displaystyle y=0$

$\displaystyle y_o+v_o\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}=0$

Multiplying by 2

$\displaystyle 2y_o+2v_ot-gt^2=0$

Clearing the coefficient of $t^2$

$\displaystyle t^2-\frac{2\ V_o}{g}\ t-\frac{2\ y_o}{g}=0$

Plugging in the given values, we reach to a second-degree equation

$\displaystyle t^2-2.857t-3.061=0$

The equation has two roots, but we only keep the positive root

$\displaystyle \boxed {t=3.69\ s}$

Once we know the time of flight of the camera, we use it to know the height of the balloon. The balloon has a constant speed vr and it already was 15 m high, thus the new height is

$\displaystyle Y_r=15+V_r.t$

$\displaystyle Y_r=15+14\times3.69$

$\displaystyle \boxed{Y_r=66.62\ m}$

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! Light passes from air into water at an angle of 40.0° to the normal. What is the angle of refraction

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Angle of Refraction = 28.9 degrees

Explanation:

<u><em>We'll use Snell's law for this. It's mathematical form is:</em></u>

=> $n_1* sin(\alpha _1)=n_2 * sin(\alpha _2)$

Where $n_{1} = 1, n_{2} = 1.33, \alpha _{2} = 40^o$

=> $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ are the refractive indexes of the air and water respectively.

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

=> 1 * sin (40) = 1.33 * sin( $\alpha _{2}$ )

=> sin $\alpha _{2}$ = $\frac{sin 40^0}{1.33}$

=> sin $\alpha _{2}$ = 0.4821

=> $\alpha _{2}$ = 28.9 degrees

Ethylene glycol, the primary ingredient in antifreeze, has the chemical formula C2H6O2. The radiator fluid used in most cars is

disa [49]

Answer:

-30 °C

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the molality (m) of the solution. If the solution is 50% C₂H₆O₂ by mass. It means that in 100 g of solution, the are 50 g of solute (C₂H₆O₂) and 50 g of solvent (water).

The molar mass of C₂H₆O₂ is 62.07 g/mol. The moles of solute are:

50 g × (1 mol / 62.07 g) = 0.81 mol

The mass of the solvent is 50 g = 0.050 kg.

The molality is:

m = 0.81 mol / 0.050 kg = 16 m

The freezing-point depression (ΔT) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔT = Kf × m = (1.86 °C/m) × 16 m = 30 °C

where,

Kf: freezing-point constant

The normal freezing point for water is 0°C. The freezing point of the radiator fluid is:

0°C - 30°C = -30 °C
