Answer:

For the heat engine to do work. The quantity of heat in the hot reservoir (Qh) must be greater than the quantity of heat in the cold reservoir (Qc). So also, the temperature of the hot reservoir (Th) is greater than the temperature of the cold reservoir (Tc).

Therefore the correct answer is option (D)

Qh > Qc and Th > Tc

Explanation:

One of the general ways to illustrate a heat engine is the energy reservoir model. The engine takes energy from a hot reservoir and uses part of it to do work, but is constrained by the second law of thermodynamics to exhaust part of the energy to a cold reservoir. In the case of the automobile engine, the hot reservoir is the burning fuel and the cold reservoir is the environment to which the combustion products are exhausted. The efficiency of the heat engine is given as:

(W/Qh) = (Qh - Qc)/Qh

Answer: B

Explanation:

Qh>Qc and Th>Tc is the right condition for heat engine to operate since it needs heat.

It obtains this heat input (Qh) through a high temperature heat reservoir (Th). It takes some of this heat and does work, and releases the rest of the heat (Qc) to a low temperature heat reservoir (Tc)

For energy balance on a heatbengine, we obtain the following equation

Qh=W+Qc

Therefore if Qh is less than Qc, we get negative work, meaning we have to put work into our engine (obviously not the purpose of a engine). So Qh>Qc. As for the temperature, the high temperature has to be higher than the low temp reservoir for heat to flow, as heat flows from high to low, and never the other way around (Clausius Second Law Statement).

In other words heat flows from a hotter body to a cooler body, that is the principle under which heat engine operate

Describe a technology used in space exploration.

Answer:

High speed optical communication technology

To be able to communicate from the space to the earth and from earth to space is one of the most essential features required during space exploration.

Explanation:

Space exploration involves going into the space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Landing on other planets and studying their details, going into deeper space beyond the planets to discover new cosmic events or structures is all a part of space exploration.

The key to analyse the studies and observations is being able to communicate the data collected, photos taken etc to the launch centers or space centers on earth. The space centers on earth should also be able to communicate with the persons or the satellites in space.

This is made possible using the optical communication technology which involves the use of optical fibers, lasers etc, since high speeds are more efficient during communication

Which of the following statements about electric field lines associated with electric charges is false? Electric field lines can
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The false statement is 'Electric field lines form closed loops'.

Explanation:

  • Electric field lines originate from positive end and terminates at negative end,i.e., field lines are inward in direction to the negative charges and outward from the positive charges.
  • These lines when close together represents high intensity and when far apart shows low intensity of the field.
  • These lines do not intersect, as the tangent drawn on these lines provides us with the field direction and intersection of these lines means two field directions which is not possible.
  • These lines unlike magnetic field lines do not form closed loops as they do not turn around but originate at positive end and terminates at negative end which ensures no loop formation.

150c passes through cell in 30 seconds. cell has a potential difference of 12v. what is current in the circuit
zzz [600]

The current in the circuit is 5 A

Explanation:

The intensity of current is given by the equation:

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge passing through a given point of the circuit in a time interval of t

For the cell in this problem, we have

q = 150 C is the charge

t = 30 s is the time interval

Substituting into the equation, we f ind

I=\frac{150}{30}=5 A
