Answer:

(a) The energy  extracted from the hot reservoir (Qh) is 3316.67J

(b) The energy deposited in the cold reservoir (Qc) is 2321.67J

Explanation:

Part (a) The energy  extracted from the hot reservoir (Qh)

e = W/Qh

where;

e is the maximum efficiency of the system = 30% = 0.3

W is the the work done on the system = 995 J

Qh is the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir

Qh = W/e

Qh = 995/0.3

Qh = 3316.67J

Part (b) The energy deposited in the cold reservoir (Qc)

e = W/Qh

W = Qh - Qc

where;

Qc is the heat deposited in the cold reservoir

e = (Qh - Qc)/Qh

Qh - Qc = e*Qh

Qc = Qh - e*Qh

Qc = 3316.67J - 0.3*3316.67J

Qc = 3316.67J - 995J

Qc = 2321.67J

What velocity in km/hr would it take to accelerate a 2 kg object to the same momentum of a 1500 kg object with a velocity of 1.6
Lynna [10]

Answer:

v = 4374 Km/h

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the smaller object, m = 2 Kg

Mass of the bigger object, M = 1500 Kg

Velocity of the bigger object, V = 1.62 m/s

Velocity of the smaller object, v = ?

The product of its mass and velocity of a body is equal to its linear momentum. It is given by the formula

                                p = mv  Kg m/s

To find the momentum of the bigger object, substitute M and V in the above equation

                                p = 1500 Kg x 1.62 m/s

                                   = 2430 Kg m/s

The velocity imparted to the small body to attain this momentum is given by the relation

                               v = p/m  m/s

                                   = 2430 Kg m/s  /  2 Kg

                                   = 1215 m/s

By converting the velocity to Km/h

                                v = 4374 km/h

Hence, the velocity of the 2 Kg object is v = 4374 km/h

Veronika [31]

Answer:

1.6949*10^6 m

Explanation:

Our values are

d=2m

v=354m/s

We can find the time through

t=\frac{d}{v}

t=\frac{2}{354}

t=5.64*10^{-3}s

The expression for the distance between the Earth and the spaceship is as follow:

d=ct

Where c is Light speed, and t our previous time.

d= (3*10^8)(5.64*10^{-3})

d= 1.6949*10^6m

Therefore the distance between the Eath and the Spaceship is 1.6949*10^6 m

When two nonmetallic-sheathed cables (Type NM-B) enter a box, is it permitted to bring both of the bare equipment grounding cond
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Not permitted

Explanation:

It's totally unacceptable to bring both of the bare equipment grounding conductor directly with the grounding terminal of a receptacle because of grounding connection removal and receptacle.

When circuit conductors are terminated on equipment within a metal box, the equipment grounding conductor associated with those circuits must be connected to box to avoid unnecessary discharge of current.
