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

Study the following reaction carefully. What classification should this reaction have?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Synthesis reaction

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction: two or more compounds combine to form one.

A + B → C

Decomposition reaction: one compound forms two or more.

C → A + B

Single replacement reaction: an element in one compound is replaced with another element.

AB + C → AC + B

Double replacement reaction: elements in two compounds replace each other.

AB + CD → AC + BD

Which example identifies a change in motion that produces acceleration?
kifflom [539]
Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It defines how much the velocity is changing. The acceleration can be negative and positive. Negative acceleration is when the object slows down, while positive while the object goes faster.

Given that a pipe having a diameter of 1.5 feet and a height of 10 feet, what is the psi at 5 feet ?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The pressure is 2.167 psi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 1.5 feet

Height = 10 feet

We need to calculate the psi at 5 feet

Using formula of pressure at a depth in a fluid

Suppose the fluid is water.

Then, the pressure is

P=\rho g h

Where, P = pressure

\rho = density

h = height

Put the value into the formula

P=1000\times9.8\times1.524

P=14935.2\ N/m^2

Pressure in psi is

P=2.166167621\ psi

P=2.167\ psi

Hence, The pressure is 2.167 psi.

We would be more likely to get an accurate measurement of the distance from Earth to a nearby star if we took the angular measur
NeTakaya

Answer:

6 month interval

Explanation:

The distance to a nearby star in theory is more simple than

one might think! First we must learn about the parallax effect. This is the mechanism our eyes use to perceive things at a distance! When we look at the star from the earth we see it at different angles throughout the earth's movement around the sun similar to how we see when we cover on eye at a time. Modern telescopes and technology can help calculate the angle of the star to the earth with just two measurements (attached photo!) Since we know the distance of the earth from the sun we can use a simple trigonometric function to calculate the distance to the star. The two measurements needed to calculate the angle of the star to the earth caused by parallax (in short angle θ) are shown in the second attached photo.

So using a simple trigonometric function Sin\theta=\frac{r}{d} we can solve for d which is the distance of the earth to the star:

d=\frac{r}{Sin\theta}

In the first attached photo a picture where r is the distance to the star and the base of the triangle is the diameter of the earth.
