If an automobile had a 100%-efficient engine, transferring all of the fuel's energy to work, would the engine be warm to your to

uch? Would its exhaust heat the surrounding air? Would it make any noise? Would it vibrate? Would any of its fuel go unused? Discuss.

Answer:

The engine would be warm to touch, and the exhaust gases would be at ambient temperature. The engine would not vibrate nor make any noise. None of the fuel entering the engine would go unused.

Explanation:

In this ideal engine, none of these events would happen due to the nature of the efficiency.

We can define efficiency as the ratio between the used energy and the potential generable energy in the fuel.

n=W, total/(E, available).

However, in real engines the energy generated in the combustion of the fuel transforms into heat (which heates the exhost gases, and the engine therefore transfering some of this heat to the environment). Also, there are some mechanical energy loss due to vibrations and sound, which are also energy that comes from the fuel combustion.

where the units of x are length and the numbers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 1.00486 m

Explanation:

The complete question is:

" The potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(x) =(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4 where the units of x are length and the num- bers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)?  "

Solution:

- The correlation between force F and energy U is given as:

                                  F = - dU / dx

                                  F = - d[(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4] / dx  

                                  F = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

- The equilibrium separation distance between atoms is given when Force F is zero:

                                  0 = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

                                  0 = 20.8 - 20.4*x^4

                                  x^4 = 20.8/20.4

                                  x = ( 20.8/20.4 )^0.25

                                  x = 1.00486 m
