A heat engine operating at steady state delivers a power output of 15.5 hp. The engine receives energy by heat transfer in the a

mount of Qh = 30.5 kJ during each cycle of operation from a high temperature thermal reservoir at Th = 940 K. The system is executing 50 cycles per minute. Determine the amount of work that is delivered during each cycle in kilojoules

Answer:

w_cycle = 13.68 KJ / cycle

Explanation:

Given:

- Steady power out-put W_out = 15.5 hp

- System executes 50 cycles/min

Find:

Determine the amount of work that is delivered during each cycle in kilo-joules

Solution:

- First we will convert the steady output into KW as follows:

                                 W_out = 15.5 hp

The conversion factor is 1.36 KW per hp.

                                 W_out = 15.5 [hp] * [KW] / 1.36 [hp]

                                 W_out = 11.4 [KW] or [KJ/s]

- Given that there are 50 cycles in 60 sec. We will use direct proportionality to calculate the number of cycles per second:

                       50 cycles   -----------> 60 s

                          x cycles   -----------> 1 s

                                 x = 50/60 = 0.8333 cycles /s

- Next we will compute the amount of work done per cycle:

                                 w_cycle = W_out / x

                                 w_cycle = 11.4 [KJ/s] * [s] / 0.8333 [cycles]

                                 w_cycle = 13.68 KJ / cycle

ra1l [238]

The object will remain at rest

Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

Here net force is zero

An object with a net force of zero acting on it will remain at rest, if initially at rest, or it will maintain a constant velocity.

F=MA

Force F=0

Than Acceleration A=0

With zero Acceleration stationary object  will remain at rest.

Hence Remain at rest is the correct answer

A football is left on the field outside during the winter months, the next morning the football was partially deflated. Using wh
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

B  

Volume decreases due to less molecular motion of the gas inside the football.

Explanation:

Assuming that the atmospheric pressure (and therefore, the pressure of the air inside the football) remains constant, this means that we can apply Charle's law, which states that:

"For a fixed amount of gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

\frac{V}{T}=const.

where

V is the volume of the gas

T is its absolute temperature

In the winter month, the air becomes colder, which means that the temperature of the air (and of the gas inside the football) decreases. As the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas is proportional to its absolute temperature, this also means that there will be less molecular motion in the gas, and therefore (as stated by Charle's law) the volume of the gas also decreases.

Choose two features of the sun and describe them.
Fofino [41]
Okay, I am going to use solar prominence and solar flares.

So, Solar Prominence is a large, bright, gaseous feature extending outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape. Prominence are anchored to the Sun's surface in the photo-sphere, and extend outwards into the Sun's corona.

A solar flare is a sudden flash of brightness observed near the Sun's surface. It involves a very broad spectrum of emissions, requiring an energy release of up to 6 × 10²⁵ joules of energy (roughly the equivalent of 160,000,000,000 megatons of TNT, over 25,000 times more energy than released from the impact of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 with Jupiter).



Hope this helps
