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

A particle with charge 7.76×10^(−8)C is moving in a region where there is a uniform 0.700 T magnetic field in the +x-direction.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The  z-component of the force is  \= F_z  =  0.00141 \ N    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

          The charge on the particle is q =  7.76 *0^{-8} \  C    

           The magnitude of the magnetic field is  B =  0.700\r i \ T

            The  velocity of the particle toward the x-direction is  v_x  =  -1.68*10^{4}\r  i  \ m/s

           The  velocity of the particle toward the y-direction is

v_y  =  -2.61*10^{4}\ \r j  \ m/s

           The  velocity of the particle toward the z-direction is

v_y  =  -5.85*10^{4}\ \r k  \ m/s

Generally the force on this particle is mathematically represented as

          \= F  =  q (\= v   X  \= B )

So  we have    

          \= F  =  q ( v_x \r  i + v_y \r  j  +  v_z \r k  )  \ \ X \ (  \= B i)

         \= F  = q (v_y B(-\r  k) + v_z B\r j)      

  substituting values

       \= F  = (7.7 *10^{-8})([ (-2.61*10^{4}) (0.700)](-\r  z) + [(5.58*10^{4}) (0.700)]\r y)    

      \= F=  0.00303\ \r j +0.00141\ \r k                  

So the z-component of the force is  \= F_z  =  0.00141 \ N

For a star with a parallax angle of 1/2 of an at arcsecond, what will be its distance in parsec?
avanturin [10]

(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.

Another way to understand it is:  The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.

For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is <em>2 parsecs </em>(about 6.52 light years).

1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.

Why do atoms like carbon and nitrogen not like to make ions, while sodium and chlorine do?
krok68 [10]
Atoms like carbon and nitrogen do not form ions because the electronegativity of these atoms are not that high nor very low which means electrons are fairly stable in the atom. While chlorine has very high electronegativity and for sodium very low, atoms tend to receive or release electrons.

According to the text, there is no energy shortage now, nor will there ever be. what reason (s) is given to support this stateme
Bas_tet [7]
The reason why there is no energy shortage nor will there ever be is because energy is being preserved and conserved and only changes form. It never gets lost or increased.
