Answer:

The efficiency of a Stirling engine is 74%

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature of gas when it is cold T_{1} = 78 K

Temperature of gas when it is hot T_{2} = 300 K

The efficiency of a stirling engine,

  \eta =1 - \frac{T_{1} }{T_{2} }

  \eta = 1- \frac{78}{300}

  \eta = 1-0.26

  \eta = 0.74

∴ \eta = 74 \%

Therefore, the efficiency of a Stirling engine is 74%

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: East Coast

Explanation:

The problem states we need to find whether the person is on the East Coast or West Coast.

Now, we know that the shadow is shortest when the Sun is at the highest point in the sky. So it means the noon time is 12:00 P.M. Now this is the local noon time which you have set in Kansas City. Now you flew to the Coast and it says 10:00 am which means you have traveled to a place where noon comes early. And noon comes early on Eastern Coast so you are on the East Coast.

Why do you think that some asteroids tumble end over end through space while other asteroids rotate around their axis?
Scilla [17]
Asteroids do this because of Newton's Third Law. When a asteroid hits something, it will keep on moving (spinning) until it hits something else.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The force from the truck on the car is always equal to the force from the car on the truck.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law; action and reaction are equal and opposite. Hence, when the big truck and small passenger car are involved in a collision, we expect that the force from the truck on the car is always equal to the force from the car on the truck. The forces on the car and the truck are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

This follows directly from Newton's third law of motion hence the answer above.

​A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oC. The air undergoes a process to a state where th
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process is isothermic,  as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303  log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied  = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv  = m / M  RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.
