Answer:

122241.02 J

Explanation:

Work Done = 230000 J

$T_H=\text {High Temperature Reservoir}=830\ K\\T_L=\text {Low Temperature Reservoir}=288\ K\\\text{In case of Carnot Cycle}\\\text{Efficiency}=\eta\\\eta=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}\\\Rightarrow \eta =1-\frac{288}{830}\\\Rightarrow \eta=0.65\\$

$\eta=\frac{\text{Work}}{\text{Heat}}\\\Rightarrow \eta=\frac{W}{Q_H}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.65=\frac{230000}{Q_H}\\\Rightarrow Q_H=\frac{230000}{0.65}\\\Rightarrow Q_H=352214.02$

$Q_L=Q_H-W\\\Rightarrow Q_L=352214.02-230000\\\Rightarrow Q_L=122241.02\ J$

∴Heat exhausted into the air to produce 230,000 J of work is 122241.02 Joule

A man of mass 85 kg runs up a flight of stairs of height 4.6 m in a time period

seraphim [82]

Explanation:

a) Power = work / time = force × distance / time

P = Fd/t

P = (85 kg × 9.8 m/s²) (4.6 m) / (12 s)

P ≈ 319 W

b) P = Fd/t

0.70 (319 W) = (m × 9.8 m/s²) (4.6 m) / (9.6 s)

m = 47.6 kg

A person holding a lunch bag is moving upward in a hot air balloon at a constant speed of 7.3 m/s . When the balloon is 24 m abo

Kitty [74]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bag, u = 7.3 m/s

Height above ground, s = 24 m

We need to find the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$v^2=(7.3)^2+2\times 9.8\times 24$

$v=\sqrt{523.69}$

v = 22.88 m/s

So, the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground is 22.38 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 5-g lead bullet traveling in 20°C air at 300 m/s strikes a flat steel plate and stops.

densk [106]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Kinetic Energy and the Energy Produced by the heat loss. In mathematical terms kinetic energy can be described as:

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

Replacing we have that the Total Kinetic Energy is

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (5*10^{-3})(300)^2$

$KE = 225J$

On the other hand the required Energy to heat up t melting point is

$Q_1 = mC_p \Delta T$

$Q_2 = L_f m$

Where,

m = Mass

$C_p =$ Specific Heat

$\Delta T =$ Change at temperature

$L_f =$ Latent heat of fussion

Heat required to heat up to melting point,

$Q = Q_1+Q_2$

$Q = mC_p \Delta T+L_f m$

$Q = 5*0.128*(327-20) + 5*24.7$

$Q = 310J$

The energy required to melt is larger than the kinetic energy. Therefore the heat of fusion of lead would be 327 ° C: The melting point of lead.

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling

KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$ ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

$Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ = $Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$

$\gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}$

= $\frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})$

= $\frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})$

= 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.
