A light year is a unit of distance. It is a distance that light can travel in a years time which is six trillion miles. It is used to measure the distances in space. To take one example, the distance to the next nearest big galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, from earth is 21,000,000,000,000,000,000 km.

A Carnot engine whose high-temperature reservoir is at 620 k takes in 550 J of heat at this temperature in each cycle and gives
yarga [219]

Answer:

(a) W=217 J

(b) Tc=378K

(c) e=0.39=39%

Explanation:

For part (a)

We to calculate the mechanical work W the engine  does. By knowing QC and QH can obtain the work using equation  

W = IQHI — IQcl  .....................eq(1)

Put given values for QH and QC into equation (1) to get  

the mechanical work of the engine  

W = 550 - 335  

W=217 J

For part (b)

We want to determine the temperature of low temperature  reservoir which means Tc  

IQc|/|Qh| =TC/TH  

for Tc  

Tc=(IQc|/|Qh|)*TH

Now we can put values

Tc= 620K  (335/ 550.1)  

Tc=378K  

For part (c)

Here we want to find the thermal efficiency (e) of the cycle

e=1-TC/TH

e=1-(378/620)

e=0.39=39%

5. SEP Construct Explanations Why are
musickatia [10]

The distribution of the fossil fuel depends on the factors like land, temperature, altitude and so on. Because of the difference in all these factors in different areas, there is unequal distribution of fossil fuels.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The problem of allocation of resources arises due to the scarcity of resources, and refers to the question of which wants should be satisfied and which should be left unsatisfied. Because of the scarcity of resources in some areas, there is low production and therefore low growth in that area.

Most natural resources, including fossil fuels, are not distributed evenly around the Earth. Deposits of fossil fuels depend on the climate and organisms that lived in that region millions of years ago, and the geological processes that have since taken place.

A student wants to use a ramp to move boxes into a truck bed that is 3 m high. He has a choice of 2 different ramps. The length
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. 8 m, because he has to apply less force over a greater distance

Explanation:

In the given question, in order for the student to lift the boxes onto the tuck with less amount of force, he applies the principle of Mechanical Advantage

The mechanical advantage is given by the measure by which a force is amplified through the use of a tool

Given that the work done = The force × The distance, we have

F₁ × d₁ = F₂ × d₂, which gives;

d₁/d₂ = F₂/F₁

Where;

F₁ = The input force

F₂ = The output force

d₁ = The input distance

d₂ = The output distance

The Mechanical advantage, MA = d₁/d₂ = F₂/F₁

Therefore, when the input distance is increased the input force will be reduced for a given output force
