Answer:

The minimum work per unit heat transfer will be 0.15.

Explanation:

We know the for a heat pump the coefficient of performance (C_{HP}) is given by

C_{HP} = \dfrac{Q_{H}}{W_{in}}

where, Q_{H} is the magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and    high-temperature medium at temperature T_{H} and W_{in} is the required input and is given by W_{in} = Q_{H} - Q_{L}, Q_{L} being magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and low-temperature T_{L}. Therefore, from above equation we can write,

&& \dfrac{Q_{H}}{W_{in}} = \dfrac{Q_{H}}{Q_{H} - Q_{L}} = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H}}} = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{T_{L}}{T_{H}}}

Given, T_{L} = 460 K and T_{H} = 540 K. So,  the minimum work per unit heat transfer is given by

\dfrac{W_{in}}{Q_{H}} = \dfrac{T_{H} - T_{L}}{T_{H}} = \dfrac{540 - 460}{540} = 0.15

Answer:magnitude -5; angle 160°

Explanation:

Vector A is described as having magnitude 5 and angle -20°.

To get an equivalent vector, we either leave the magnitude at 5 and add 360° to the angle, or we reverse the magnitude to -5 and add 180° to the angle.

5 @ -20° = 5 @ 340°

5 @ -20° = -5 @ 160°

The third one is the answer.

Hey there!
eimsori [14]

The time taken for the two balls to hit each other is 8 s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Acceleration of the rocket, a = 2 m/s²</em>
  • <em>Length of the chamber, s = 4 m</em>
  • <em>Speed of the first ball, = V1 = 0.3 m/s</em>
  • <em>Speed of the second ball, V2 = 0.2 m/s</em>

The time taken for the two balls to hit each other is calculated by applying relative velocity formula as shown below;

(V_1 - (-V_2) )t = s\\\\(V_1 + V_2) t = s\\\\(0.3 + 0.2) t = 4\\\\0.5t = 4\\\\t = \frac{4}{0.5} \\\\t = 8 \ s

Thus, the time taken for the two balls to hit each other is 8 s.
