Answer:
(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%
Explanation:
Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as:
solving to Q_out we get:
this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us: 
where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get:
Answer:
the power of the solar cell is 1.5 watts
Explanation:
Recall that power is defined as the product of the voltage (V) times the running current (I): Power = V * I.
The only thing we have to take care of before actually performing the operation, is to convert milliamps into Amps, so our answer comes directly in the appropriate units (Watts). 500 mAmps can be written as 0.5 Amps, then, the product becomes:
Power = V * I = 3 V * 0.5 Amps = 1.5 watts
The work-energy theorem states that the net work done by the forces on an object equals the change in its kinetic energy.
