To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the thermal efficiency given in an engine of the Carnot cycle. Here we know that efficiency is given under the equation

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}

Where,

T_2 = Temperature of Cold Body

T_1 =Temperature of Hot Body

\eta= Efficiency

According to the statement our values are:

\eta = 0.3

T_2 = 210K

Replacing we have that

0.3 = 1- \frac{210}{T_1}

\frac{210}{T_1} = 0.7

T_1 = \frac{210}{0.7}

T_1 = 300K

Therefore the temperature of the heat source is 300K

The probability that a battery will last 10 hr or more is 0.8, and the probability that it will last 15 hr or more is 0.11. Give
podryga [215]
We are given with the data that says the probability that a battery will last 10 hr or more is 0.8 and the probability <span>that it will last 15 hr or more is 0.11. In this case, the probability that the battery lasts at least 10 hours and even 15 hrs more is 0.11 / 0.8 or equal to 13.75 percent.</span>

) is it possible for one component of a vector to be zero, while the vector itself is not zero?
Natalka [10]
The least number of component of a vector quantity is two. These are the x-component and the y-component. 

The resultant vector, or vector as we refer to it in this item, can be calculated through the equation,
              RV = sqrt ((Vx)² + (Vy)²)

From the equation, it can be noted that if we let Vx equal to zero,
              RV = Vy

Similarly, if we let Vy be equal to zero then,
             RV = Vx

Thus, it is still possible for the vector to become nonzero even if one of its components is zero.

The magnitude of the voltage induced in a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field depends on the _______ and the __
Virty [35]

The correct answer is: Option (D) length, speed

Explanation:

According to Faraday's Law of Induction:

ξ = Blv

Where,

ξ = Emf Induced

B = Magnetic Induction

l = Length of the conductor

v = Speed of the conductor.

As you can see that ξ (Emf/voltage induction) is directly proportional to the length and the speed of the conductor. Therefore, the correct answer will be Option (D) Length, Speed

A 5 kg block is sliding down a plane inclined at 30^0 with a constant velocity of 4 m/s. To determine the coefficient of frictio
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The necessary information is if the forces acting on the block are in equilibrium

The coefficient of friction is 0.577

Explanation:

Where the forces acting on the object are in equilibrium, we have;

At constant velocity, the net force acting on the particle = 0

However, the frictional force is then given as

F = mg sinθ

Where:

m = Mass of the block

g = Acceleration due to gravity and

θ = Angle of inclination of the slope

F = 5×9.81×sin 30 = 24.525 N

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is given as

24.525 N = μ×m×g × cos θ = μ × 5 × 9.81 × cos 30 = μ × 42.479

μ × 42.479 N= 24.525 N

∴ μ = 24.525 N ÷ 42.479 N = 0.577

it takes 90 j of work to stretch a spring 0.2 m from its equilibrium position. How muc work is needed to stretch it an additiona
Vinvika [58]

Work needed: 720 J

Explanation:

The work needed to stretch a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is stretched, which is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching of the spring from the equilibrium position

In this problem, we have

E = 90 J (work done to stretch the spring)

x = 0.2 m (stretching)

Therefore, the spring constant is

k=\frac{2E}{x^2}=\frac{2(90)}{(0.2)^2}=4500 N/m

Now we can find what is the work done to stretch the spring by an additional 0.4 m, that means to a total displacement of

x = 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6 m

Substituting,

E'=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(4500)(0.6)^2=810 J

Therefore, the additional work needed is

\Delta E=E'-E=810-90=720 J
