A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes.

A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. It may also contain organic remains and mineraloids apart from regular mineral formations. Since rocks vary in their mineral and chemical composition, they are classified according to the process of their formation.

lana [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity is q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg

The efficiency of the temperature is n_{TH}=0.67

Explanation:

The p-v diagram illustration is in the attachment

T_{H} means high temperature

T_{L} means low temperature

The energy equation :

q_{h} = R* T_{h} in(V_{2}/V_{1})

   =0.287 * 1200 ln(3)

   =0.287*1318.33

   =378.36kJ/kg

The specific heat capacity:

q_{L}=q_{h}*(T_{L}/T_{H})

q_{L}=378.36 * (400/1200)

q_{L}=378.36 * 0.333

q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg

The efficiency of the temperature will be:

n_{TH}=1 - (T_{L}/T_{H})

n_{TH}=1-(400/1200)

n_{TH}=1-0.333

n_{TH}=0.67

A thin walled spherical shell is rolling on a surface. What
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of given shell= \frac{2}{3} MR^2

where

M represent sphere mass

R -sphere radius

we know linear speed is given as v = r\omega

translational K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2

rotational K.E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2

total kinetic energy will be

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2

K.E =\frac{5}{6} MR^2 \omega^2

fraction of rotaional to total K.E

=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4
