Answer:
A
Explanation:
Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.
88% of x = 0.88 x
0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.
heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x
efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %
Answer:
The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
Explanation:
To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

Our values are:




Replacing,


We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,

But we know that d is equal to

Where
v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,

(per hour)
Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
The net force on the sled is 6.6 N pointing backwards, opposite to the direction it's sliding. That's why it's slowing down, and will eventually stop.
Answer: 52%
Explanation:
1W = 1 J/s
motor input is 10000 J/s
Potential energy change
PE = 955(9.81)(25.0) = 234,213.75
power needed to change the PE in that time
P = 234,213.75/ 45 = 5,204.75 Watts
motor is 5204.75 / 10000 = 0.520475 or 52% efficient
