What is the efficiency (w/qh) of an ideal carnot heat engine operating between a hot region at t= 400 k and a cold one at t= 300

k?

Vinvika [58]3 years ago

The efficiency of an ideal Carnot heat engine can be written as:
\eta = 1-  \frac{T_{cold}}{T_{hot}}
where
T_{cold} is the temperature of the cold region
T_{hot} is the temperature of the hot region

For the engine in our problem, we have T_{cold}=300 K and T_{hot}=400 K, so the efficiency is
\eta= 1 - \frac{300 K}{400 K}=0.25

We know the frequency range of certain sounds are: 400-560 Hz, what are the ranges of wavelength in meters when the signal trans
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Range of wavelength will be 5.35\times 10^5m to 7.5\times 10^5m

Explanation:

We have given range of frequency is 400-560 Hz

Speed of the light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

We have to find the range of the wavelength of signal transmitted

Ween know that velocity is given by v=\lambda f, here \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency

So for 400 Hz frequency wavelength will be \lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{400}=7.5\times 10^5m

And wavelength for frequency 560 Hz \lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{560}=5.35\times 10^5m

So range of wavelength will be 5.35\times 10^5m to 7.5\times 10^5m

How are lasers used to determine the distance from earth to the moon?
mezya [45]
A beam of laser is directed at a reflecting surface put on the moon when the beam of laser is reflected a receiver on the each measure the time since the beam was sent till it was received. Laser is simply light so it has constant velocity in vacuum ~ air  (c = 3 x 10^8 m/s)

to find the distance:

t : time measured between launching the beam and receiving it 

d : distance

d = ct

How does mass affect density? How does volume affect density?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Here's the Density Formula:  D = M/V

Q: How does mass affect density?

A: <em>Mass is a factor in density, the density is proportional to the mass. So as the mass increases, so does the density, provided the volume remains constant.</em>

Q: How does volume affect density?

A:<em> If an object has a larger mass than its volume it has a high density, if an object has a smaller mass than its volume it has a lower density.</em>

Explanation:

<em><u>I really Hope this Helps!!</u></em>

How do you move the decimal from megameters to meters?
Deffense [45]
The prefix "mega" means million.
Therefore
1 megameter = 10⁶ meters

That is,
1.0 megameter = 1,000,000.0 meters.

Answer:
The decimal is moved right by 6 places to convert a megameter to meters.
