Answer:

15.65 °C

Explanation:

cold temperature (Tc) = -15.5 degree C = 273.15 - 15.5 = 257.65 kelvin

minimum coefficient of performance (η) = 8.25

find the maximum hot reservoir temperature of such a generator (Th)

η = \frac{Tc}{Th-Tc}

Th = Tc x (\frac{1}{η} + 1)

Th = 257.65 x (\frac{1}{8.25} + 1)

Th = 288.8 K

Th = 288.8 - 273.15 = 15.65 °C

Does the earths magnetic field change with time?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

As per the fossil fuel records, magnetic field reversal does not impact living beings. It will take almost a century for the poles to complete the shift. Meanwhile, the earth is left with almost zero magnetic field.

Your iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave p
Umnica [9.8K]
The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is
v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is
f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

Because velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ,  is given by
fλ = v
λ = v/f
   = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)
   = 1/3 m

Answer:  1/3 m

A block is attached to a spring, with spring constant k, which is attached to a wall. it is initially moved to the left a distan
Ghella [55]

Answer:

x(t) = d*cos ( wt )

w = √(k/m)

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of block = m

- The spring constant = k

- The initial displacement = xi = d

Find:-

- The expression for displacement (x) as function of time (t).

Solution:-

- Consider the block as system which is initially displaced with amount (x = d) to left and then released from rest over a frictionless surface and undergoes SHM. There is only one force acting on the block i.e restoring force of the spring F = -kx in opposite direction to the motion.

- We apply the Newton's equation of motion in horizontal direction.

                             F = ma

                             -kx = ma

                             -kx = mx''

                              mx'' + kx = 0

- Solve the Auxiliary equation for the ODE above:

                              ms^2 + k = 0

                              s^2 + (k/m) = 0

                              s = +/- √(k/m) i = +/- w i

- The complementary solution for complex roots is:

                              x(t) = [ A*cos ( wt ) + B*sin ( wt ) ]

- The given initial conditions are:

                              x(0) = d

                              d = [ A*cos ( 0 ) + B*sin ( 0 ) ]

                              d = A

                              x'(0) = 0

                              x'(t) = -Aw*sin (wt) + Bw*cos(wt)

                              0 = -Aw*sin (0) + Bw*cos(0)

                              B = 0

- The required displacement-time relationship for SHM:

                               x(t) = d*cos ( wt )

                               w = √(k/m)
