Answer:

the correct one is C

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the work definition

    W = F. s

Where the bold characters indicate vectors and the point is the scalar producer

    W = F s cos θ

Where θ is the angles between force and displacement.

Let us support this in our case. The cable creates an upward tension and with the elevator going down the angle between them is 180º so the work of the cable on the elevator is negative.

The evade has a downward force, its weight so the force goes down and the displacement goes down, as both are in the same direction the work is positive

When examining the statements the correct one is C

: The maximum theoretical efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between reservoirs at the steam point and at room temperature
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The value is   \eta  =  0.2145  or  21.45%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The first reservoir is at steam point  T_s =  100^o C =  100 + 273 = 373 \ K  

    The  second reservoir is at room temperature T_r  =  20^o C = 293 \ K

Generally the  maximum theoretical efficiency of a Carnot engine  is mathematically evaluated as

     \eta  =  1- \frac{T_r}{T_s}

=>    1 - \frac{ 293}{373}

=>    \eta  =  0.2145

An object with a mass M = 250 g is at rest on a plane that makes an angle θ = 30 o above the horizontal. The coefficient of kine
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

v = 79.2 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the object, m = 250 g = 0.250 kg

Angle, \theta = 30^{\circ}

Coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_{k} = 0.100

Mass attached to the string, m = 0.200 kg

Distance, d = 30 cm = 0.03 m

Now,

The tension in the string is given by:

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = T        (1)

Also

T = m(g + a)

Thus eqn (1) can be written as:

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = m(g - a)

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = mg + ma

mg - Mgsin\theta - \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta = (M - m)a

a = \frac{0.2\times 9.8 - 0.250\times 9.8\times sin30^{\circ} - 0.1\times 0.250\times 9.8\times cos30^{\circ}}{0.250 - 0.200}

a = 10.45\ m/s^{2}

Now, the speed is given by the third eqn of motion with initial velocity being zero:

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2ad

where

u = initial velocity = 0

Thus

v = \sqrt{2ad}

v = \sqrt{2\times 10.45\times 0.03} = 0.792\ m/s
