The thermal efficiency of an engine is
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work
In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
Explanation:
Temperature is, in depth, a statistical value; kind of an average of the particles movement in any physical system (such as a glass filled with water). Kinetic energy, for sure, is the energy resulting from movement (technically depending on mass and velocity of a system; in other words, the faster something moves, the greater its kinetic energy.
Since temperature is related to the total average random movement in a system, and so is the kinetic energy (related to movement through velocity), as the thermometer measures <u>less temperature</u>, that would mean that the particles (in this case: water particles) are <u>moving slowly</u>, so that: the slower something moves, the lower its kinetic energy.
<u>In summary:</u> temperature tells about how fast are moving and colliding the particles within a system, and since it is <em>directly proportional</em> to the amount of movement, it can be related (also <em>directly proportional</em>) to the kinectic energy.
