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.

What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.
adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

The amount of oxygen in the reactants is 4 atoms. In the products, the oxygen is distributed to water (H2O) and O2 gas. Which co
Reil [10]

Answer:

2 in front of water and 1 in front of oxygen

Explanation:

This question is describing balancing a chemical reaction. A balanced chemical reaction has the same number of atoms of each elements on both the reactant and product side. According to the question, the reactants contains 4 atoms of oxygen. The reactants give rise to water (H20) and O2 in the products side.

This reaction is most likely the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as follows:

H2O2 (l) ----> H2O (l) + O2(g)

Based on the description, H2O2 will be 2H2O2 as it is said to contain four atoms of oxygen. This means that, in order to have a balanced equation, we must place coefficient 2 in front of water and coefficient 1 in front of oxygen. That is;

2H2O2 (l) ----> 2H2O (l) + O2(g)

Answer:

use the bowl of water because Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak. Allowing it to float freely on the water, allows the magnetized needle to freely react to Earth's magnetic field, causing it to align North to South. If you watched closely, the same end of the needle should always point to the North
