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

If a cart goes around a turn at 20 km/h ,what remains constant
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 4.speed

Explanation:

In this case, we know that the cart remains at a constant 20km/h.

Now, one could say that "the velocity remains constant, because it always is 20km/h"

But remember that velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, and if the cart is going around a turn, then the direction of motion is changing, which tell us that there is acceleration.

But the module of the velocity, the speed, remains constant at 20km/h.

Then the correct option is 4, speed.

What determines how the plates interact at their boundaries
swat32

Answer:

Tectonic plate interactions are of three different basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.

Explanation:

Meaning the answer to your question is depending on what type of tectonic plate interaction is occurring will depend on how the plates interact.
