Answer

given,

high temperature reservoir (T_c)= 464 K

efficiency  of reservoir (ε)= 25 %

temperature to decrease = ?

increase in efficiency = 42 %

now, using equation

 \epsilon = 1 - \dfrac{T_C}{T_H}

 0.25 = 1 - \dfrac{T_C}{464}

 T_C= (1 - 0.25) \times 464

 T_C= 0.75 \times 464

      T_C = 348 K

now,

if the efficiency is equal to 42$ = 0.42

 T_C= (1 - 0.42) \times 464

 T_C= 0.58 \times 464

 T_C= 269.12\ K

A ladder 5.0 m long leans against a wall inside a spaceship. From the point of view of a person on the ship, the base of the lad
andriy [413]

Answer:

the angle the ladder makes with the floor as seen by an observer on Earth is 71.9°

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the diagram below.

speed of the ship v = 0.90c

base of the ladder from the wall x₀ = 3.0 m

top of the later above the floor y = 4.0 m

we determine angle θ.

from the diagram,

tanθ = y/x₀

tanθ = y / x₀√( 1 - v²/c² )

we substitute

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - ((0.9c)²/c²) )

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - ((0.9²)c²/c²) )

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - (0.9²) )

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - 0.81 )

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√0.19

tanθ = 4.0 / 1.30766968

tanθ = 3.058876

θ = tan⁻¹( 3.058876 )

θ = 71.8965 ≈ 71.9°

Therefore, the angle the ladder makes with the floor as seen by an observer on Earth is 71.9°

4. What is the best estimate of the frequency of the wave shown below?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The answer is "Option D"

Explanation:

Please find the graph file in the attached file.

Using formula:

\to v= \rho \lambda \\\\\ \to \lambda= 130 \cm \\\\ \to v= 335 \frac{cm}{s}\\\\ \to \rho= \frac{v}{\lambda} \\\\

      =\frac{335}{130} \\\\ = 2.57 \approx 2.50 \ Hz

Based on what you have read, explain the advantages of digital signals over analog signals.
dalvyx [7]
<span>Digital signals do not pass noise along, so the sound heard is likely very close to the signal that was sent. Digital signals also can be stored more easily than analog signals. Recorded analog signals degrade over time, while recorded digital signals do not.</span>
