What two products are formed from the fission of uranium?

A real heat engine operates between temperatures TcTcT_c and ThThT_h. During a certain time, an amount QcQcQ_c of heat is releas

Nookie1986 [14]

The maximum amount of work performed is

$W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C$

Explanation:

The efficiency of a real heat engine is given by the equation:

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$ (1)

where

$T_C$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

$T_H$ is the temperature of the hot reservoir

However, the efficiency of a real heat engine can be also written as:

$\eta = \frac{W_{max}}{Q_H}$

where

$W_{max}$ is the maximum work done

$Q_H$ is the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir

$Q_H$ can be written as

$Q_H=W_{max}+Q_C$

where

$Q_C$ is the heat released to the cold reservoir

So the previous equation can be also written as

$\eta=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q_C}$ (2)

By combining eq.(1) and (2) we get

$1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q}$

And re-arranging the equation and solving for $W_{max}$ , we find

$W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C$

what evidence can you cite that the interstellar medium contains both gas and dust? (select all that apply.)

Basile [38]

(a) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the radiations of photons of wavelength 21 cm.

(b) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the absorption lines present in the light from distant stars, which must be caused by a medium of density and temperature other than that of the stars emitting the lights.

<h3>What is interstellar medium?</h3>

Interstellar medium is the matter and radiation that exist in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.

Solve each problem. Be sure to show your work and give a final answer with units rounded to the given number of significant figu

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

1. the voltage will be 2.35×12.5 = 29.4V

2. the resistance would be 9.0/6.2= 1.45ohms

3. in series they will add up thus 4+8+12= 24ohms

4. in parallel it will be 2.18ohms

What is the potential energy of a 2500 g object suspended 5 m above the earth's surface?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy, which is the energy a body assumes at a position, can be calculated using the formula:

P.E = m × g × h

Where;

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (10m/s²)

h = height (m)

An airplane is flying 340 km/hr at 12o east of north. the wind is blowing 40 km/hr at 34o south of east. what is the plane's act

seropon [69]

Define an x-y coordinate system such that
The positive x-axis = the eastern direction, with unit vector $\hat{i}$ .
The positive y-axis = the northern direction, with unit vector $\hat{j}$ .

The airplane flies at 340 km/h at 12° east of north. Its velocity vector is
$\vec{v}_{1} = 340(sin(15^{o})\hat{i} + cos(15^{o})\hat{j} ) = 88\hat{i} + 328.4\hat{j}$

The wind blows at 40 km/h in the direction 34° south of east. Its velocity vector is
$\vec{v}_{2} =40(cos(34^{o})\hat{i} - sin(24^{o})]\hat{j}) = 33.1615\hat{i} -22.3677\hat{j})$

The plane's actual velocity is the vector sum of the two velocities. It is
$\vec{v}=\vec{v}_{1}+\vec{v}_{2} = 121.1615\hat{i}+306.0473\hat{j}$

The magnitude of the actual velocity is
v = √(121.1615² + 306.0473²) = 329.158 km/h

The angle that the velocity makes north of east is
tan⁻¹ (306.04733/121.1615) = 21.6°

Answer:
The actual velocity is 329.2 km/h at 21.6° north of east.
