Answer:

Q₂ = 5833.33 J

Explanation:

First we need to find the energy supplied to the heat engine. The formula for the efficiency of the heat engine is given as:

η = W/Q₁

where,

η = efficiency of engine = 30% = 0.3

W = Work done by engine = 2500 J

Q₁ = Heat supplied to the engine = ?

Therefore,

0.3 = 2500 J/Q₁

Q₁ = 2500 J/0.3

Q₁ = 8333.33 J

Now, we find the heat discharged to lower temperature reservoir by using the formula of work:

W = Q₁ - Q₂

Q₂ = Q₁ - W

where,

Q₂ = Heat discharged to the lower temperature reservoir = ?

Therefore,

Q₂ = 8333.33 J - 2500 J

<u>Q₂ = 5833.33 J</u>

A train slows down from 34 m/s to 4 m/s in 60 seconds. what is it's acceleration?
OverLord2011 [107]
Acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

because the object is slowing down, the acceleration will be negative.

acceleration = (4-34) / 60
acceleration = -30 / 60
acceleration = -0.5 m/s^2

answer : the train is accelerating at -0.5 m/s^2

A laser beam, shining from the earth's surface, is directed at the moon whose distance from the earth on this day is 370,000 km.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

d = 6105 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use trigonometry to find the diameter of the has. The most common definition in optics of the angle of divergence is measured between the two ends of the beam, therefore to use this angle in trigonometry where the angle is measured with respect to the normal we must take half of this angle

          θ = 1.65 10⁻⁵ / 2 = 0.825 10⁻⁵ rad

let's use the tangent

          tan θ = y / L

          y = L tan θ

          y = 370000 103 tan (0.825 10⁻⁵)

let's be careful since the angles are in radians

          y = 3025.5 m

This is the distance from the normal that corresponds to the radius of the circle, the diameter is twice the radius

          d = 2 y

          d = 2 3025.5

          d = 6105 m

How would a system which exchanges energy but does not exchange matter between the system and the surroundings be classified?
Elodia [21]
If a system allows the exchange of energy but does not permit exchange of matter between the system and surroundings, this system is classified as a CLOSED system. The energy that flows in and out of the system boundaries is in the form of heat.
