Physics
1 answer:
Anuta_ua [19.1K]3 years ago
4 0

D. A heat engine that uses heat to do work

Explanation:

A coal fired power plant is a heat engine that uses heat to do work.

A heat engine is a device that is used to convert heat energy into mechanical energy .

A heat pump uses mechanical energy to produce more heat from a lower heat sink.

  • A coal power plant produces heat by firing the coal.
  • Heat from the coal combustion heats water to steam.
  • The steam is used to drive heavy turbines
  • The turbine has mechanical energy and it then produce electricity.

Suppose you designed a spacecraft to work by photon pressure. The sail was a completely absorbing fabric of area 1.0 km2 and you
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(a) F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

(b) P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

(c) t = 27.2 min

Explanation:

Area of sail A = 1.0 km² = 1.0 * 10⁶m²

Wavelength of light  λ = 650 nm = 650 * 10⁻⁹ m

Rate of impact of photons R = 1 mol/s = 6.022 * 10²³ photons/s

(a)

Momentum of each photon is Ρ = h/λ = 6.625 * 10⁻³⁴ / 650 * 10⁻⁹

      = 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ kg.m/s

Since the photons are absorbed completely, in every collision the above momentum is transferred to the sail.  

Momentum transferred to the sail per second is product of rate of impact of photons and momentum transferred by each photon.

dp/dt = R * h/ λ

This is the force acting on the sail.

F = R * h/λ = 6.022 * 10²³ * 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

b)

Pressure exerted by the radiation on the sail = Force acting on the sail / Area of the sail

P = F/A =  6.14 * 10⁻⁴ / 1.0 * 10⁶ =  6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

c)  

Acceleration of spacecraft a = F/m = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ /1.0 = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴m/s²

As the spacecraft starts from rest, initial speed u=0,m/s ,

final speed is u = 1.0 m/s after time t  

v = u+at  

t = 1.0 - 0/ 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ =  1629s = 27.2 min

t = 27.2 min

The electrostatic force between the two ions is 2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged particle is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, the ion of sodium has a charge of

q_1 = +e = +1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

while the ion of chlorine has a charge of

q_2 = -e = -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

And the distance between the two ions is

r=282 pm = 282\cdot 10^{-12} m

Substituting, we find the electrostatic force between the two ions:

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})}{(282\cdot 10^{-12})^2}=-2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N

where the negative sign simply means that the force is attractive, since the two ions have opposite charge.

A motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest at 7.9\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}7.9 s 2 m ​ 7, point, 9, space, start fraction,
8090 [49]

Answer:

t = 3.516 s

Explanation:

The most useful kinematic formula would be the velocity of the motorcylce as a function of time, which is:

v(t) = v_0 +at

Where v_0 is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration. However the problem states that the motorcyle start at rest therefore v_0 = 0

If we want to know the time it takes to achieve that speed, we first need to convert units from km/h to m/s.

This can be done knowing that

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

Therefore

1 km/h = (1000/3600) m/s = 0.2777... m/s

100 km/h = 27.777... m/s

Now we are looking for the time t, for which v(t) = 27.77 m/s. That is:

27.777 m/s = 7.9 m/s^2 t

Solving for t

t = (27.7777 / 7.9) s = 3.516 s

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.
