A Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.400. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of 298.0k and a

hot reservoir, what is the temperature of the hot reservoir?

Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}

where:

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

\eta = 0.400 is the efficiency

T_C = 298.0 K is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for T_H, we find:

\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K

monochromatic light from a distant source is incident on a slit 0.75 mm wide. on screen 2 m away, the distance from the central
hjlf

Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity is 1.35 mm , width of the slit  is 0.75 so  Wavelength of the light  is 506.25.

<h3>How to find Wavelength of the light?</h3>

When a wave is bent by an obstruction whose dimensions are similar to the wavelength, diffraction is observed. We can disregard the effects of extremes because the Fraunhofer diffraction is the most straightforward scenario and the obstacle is a long, narrow slit.

This is a straightforward situation in which we can apply the

Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

y = mλD/a

Where:

y = Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity =  1.35 mm

λ =  wavelength of the light.

D = distance

a = width of the slit = 0.75

m = order number = 1

Solving for λ

λ = y + a/ mD

Changing the information that the issue has provided:

λ = 1.35 * 10^-3 + 0.75 * 10^-3 / 1*2  

=5.0625 *10^-7 = 506.25

so

Wavelength of the light 506.25.

A student walks 4 block east, 7 blocks west, 1 blocks east then 2 blocks west in an hour. Her average speed is____ block/hour
Gemiola [76]

Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)

Average speed = (4+7+1+2 blox) / (1 hour)

<em>Average speed = 14 blocks/hour</em>

<em></em>

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a wild guess:

I'm guessing that there's another question glued onto the end of this one, and it asks you to find either her displacement or her average velocity.  I'm so sure of this that I'm gonna give you the solution for that too.  If there's no more question, then you won't need this, and you can just discard it.  I won't mind.

Average velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

"Displacement" = distance and direction from the start point to the end point, regardless of how she got there.

Displacement = (4E + 7W + 1E + 2W)

Displacement = (5E + 9W)

<em>Displacement = 4 blocks west</em>

Average velocity = (4 blocks west) / (1 hour)

<em>Average velocity = 4 blocks/hour  West</em>

How does a sound wave transfer energy to your ears?
inessss [21]

Answer:

I think it's C!

Explanation:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your eardrum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Hope this helps!
