A child climbing a ladder is transforming kinetic energy into potential energy.
Answer:
the claim is not valid or reasonable.
Explanation:
In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:
η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂
where,
η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?
T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K
T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K
Therefore,
η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K
η(max) = 0.25 = 25%
Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:
η = W/Q
where,
W = Net Work = 250 KJ
Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ
Therefore,
η = 250 KJ/750 KJ
η = 0.333 = 33.3 %
η > η(max)
The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.
<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>
Earth's gravity and the satellite's velocity keeps it so that it stays in orbit. (there is a more complicated side, too...)
Answer:
10 kg
Explanation:
The question is most likely asking for the mass of the bicycle.
Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Mathematically:
p = m * v
Where p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
Hence, mass is:
m = p / v
From the question:
p = 25 kgm/s
v = 2.5 m/s
Mass is:
m = 25 / 2.5 = 10 kg
The mass of the bicycle is 10 kg.
In case the question requires the Kinetic energy of the bicycle, it can be gotten by using the formula
K. E = ½ * p * v
K. E. = ½ * 25 * 2.5 = 31.25 J
