The maximum amount of work performed is

W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C

Explanation:

The efficiency of a real heat engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H} (1)

where

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

However, the efficiency of a real heat engine can be also written as:

\eta = \frac{W_{max}}{Q_H}

where

W_{max} is the maximum work done

Q_H is the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir

Q_H can be written as

Q_H=W_{max}+Q_C

where

Q_Cis the heat released to the cold reservoir

So the previous equation can be also written as

\eta=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q_C} (2)

By combining eq.(1) and (2) we get

1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q}

And re-arranging the equation and solving for W_{max}, we find

W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C

Acceleration is mathematically defined as; ΔV/t.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is defined as the ratio of the change in velocity to time. It is defined as the extent to which the velocity changes within a given time interval.

The question is incomplete so we can not arrive at the final answer. However, acceleration is mathematically defined as; ΔV/t.

discharge occurs when oppositely charged objects get close enough for the air between them to become electrically charged.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

It does both. Once they get close enough the air does start to get charged, but then they eventually discharge when they touch.

A wheel has a radius of 5.9 m. How far (path length) does a point on the circumference travel if the wheel is rotated through an
posledela

Answer:

(a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5.9 m

(a). Angle \theta=30°

We need to calculate the angle in radian

\theta=30\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}

\theta=0.523\ rad

We need to calculate the path length

Using formula of path length

Path\ length =angle\times radius

Path\ length=0.523\times5.9

Path\ length =3.09\ m

(b). Angle = 30 rad

We need to calculate the path length

Path\ length=30\times5.9

Path\ length=177\ m

(c). Angle = 30 rev

We need to calculate the angle in rad

\theta=30\times2\pi

\theta=188.4\ rad

We need to calculate the path length

Path\ length=188.4\times5.9

Path\ length =1111.56\ m

Hence, (a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same __________.
Elan Coil [88]

None of the choices is correct.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile,
they have the same average speed.  But their velocities
are not the same unless both runners begin and end their
run at the same points.

Speed is   (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Velocity is not.  It's something different. 
'Velocity' is not just a bigger word for 'speed'.
