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

How did cyanobacteria affect early Earth’s biosphere? Select all that apply. Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct statements would be

  • Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.
  • Cyanobacteria preceded the first photosynthetic organisms.
  • Cyanobacteria produced excess oxygen.

Cyanobacteria, also termed as blue-green algae are the prokaryotes which are able to perform photosynthesis.

They were the major contributors of oxygen in the atmosphere and thus helped the organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.

By the process of endosymbiosis, they lead to the origin of plants. The chloroplasts present in green plants is considered as the cyanobacteria living in the plant cell. It helps in photosynthesis and in return plants cell provides shelter to it.

It is believed that the oxygen released from early cyanobacteria reacted with dissolved iron ions to form iron oxide.

A red laser from the physics lab is marked as producing 632.8-nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced s
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The wavelength is  \lambda_R  =  649 *10^{-9}\ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength of the red laser is  \lambda_r  =  632.8 \ nm =  632.8 *10^{-9}\ m

    The spacing between  the fringe is  y_r  =  6.00\ mm =  6.00*10^{-3}  \  m

   The spacing between  the fringe for smaller laser point  is  y_R   = 6.19 \ mm =  6.19 *10^{-3} \  m

      Generally the spacing between  the fringe is mathematically represented as

       y  =  \frac{D *  \lambda  }{d}

Here  D is the distance to the screen

    and  d is the distance of the slit separation

Now for both laser red light light and  small laser  point  D and  d are same for this experiment

So

         \frac{y_r}{\lambda_r}  =  \frac{D}{d}

=>      \frac{y_r}{\lambda_r}  = \frac{y_R}{\lambda_R}

Where \lambda_R  is the wavelength produced by the small laser pointer

  So

           \frac{6.0 *10^{-3}}{ 632.8*10^{-9}}  = \frac{ 6.15 *10^{-9}}{\lambda_R}

=>       \lambda_R  =  649 *10^{-9}\ m
