Answer:

Power Output = 42 KW

T₁ = 1152 K = 879°C

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency of a Carnot's Engine is given by:

η = 1 - Q₂/Q₁

where,

η = efficiency = 75% = 0.75

Q₂ = Heat Rejection Rate = 14 KW

Q₁ = Heat Absorption Rate = ?

Therefore,

0.75 = 1 - 14 KW/Q₁

14 KW = (1 - 0.75)(Q₁)

Q₁ = 14 KW/0.25

Q₁ = 56 KW

Thus,

Power Output = Q₁ - Q₂

Power Output = 56 kW - 14 KW

<u>Power Output = 42 KW</u>

<u></u>

The thermal efficiency of a Carnot's Engine is also given by:

η = 1 - T₂/T₁

where,

η = efficiency = 75% = 0.75

T₂ = Temperature of Heat Sink (Lake) = 15°C + 273 = 288 K

T₁ = Temperature of Heat Sink = ?

Therefore,

0.75 = 1 - 288 K/T₁

288 K = (1 - 0.75)(T₁)

T₁ = 288 K/0.25

<u>T₁ = 1152 K = 879°C</u>

A ball bearing of radius of 1.5 mm made of iron of density
Serjik [45]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Viscosity \ of \ glycerine \ (\eta) = 14.382 \ poise}

Given:

Radius of ball bearing (r) = 1.5 mm = 0.15 cm

Density of iron (ρ) = 7.85 g/cm³

Density of glycerine (σ) = 1.25 g/cm³

Terminal velocity (v) = 2.25 cm/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980.6 cm/s²

To Find:

Viscosity of glycerine (\sf \eta)

Explanation:

\boxed{ \bold{v =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2} ( \rho -  \sigma)g)}{ \eta} }}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2}( \rho -  \sigma)g )}{v}

Substituting values of r, ρ, σ, v & g in the equation:

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {(0.15)}^{2}  \times  (7.85 - 1.25) \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{(0.0225 \times 6.6 \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times  \frac{145.6191}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times 64.7196

\sf \implies \eta =  2 \times 7.191

\sf \implies \eta =  14.382 \: poise

How can you measure the distance an object has moved?
Naily [24]

You must observe the object twice.

-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.

-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.

-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.

What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point. 
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.

A positive point charge q is placed at the center of an uncharged metal sphere insulated from the ground. The outside of the sph
kenny6666 [7]

Explanation:

the missing figure in the Question has been put in the attachment.

Then from the figure we can observe that

the center of the sphere is positive, therefore, negative charge will be  induced at A.

As B is grounded there will not be any charge on B

Hence the answer is A is negative and B is charge less.

A truck pushes a pile of dirt horizontally on a frictionless road with a net force of 20\, \text N20N20, start text, N, end text
meriva

Answer:

300 Nm ; 300 J

Explanation:

Given that:

Force (F) = 20 N

Distance (d) = 15 m

The kinetic energy (Workdone) = Force * Distance

Kinetic Energy = 20N * 15m

Kinetic Energy = 300Nm

K. E = 1/2
