We will start by finding the heat in state one through the thermal efficiency or efficiency of a thermal machine is a coefficient or dimensionless ratio calculated as the ratio of the energy produced (in an operating cycle) and the energy supplied to the machine. Mathematically it is the relationship between the work generated and the heat emanated.

So,

\eta = \frac{W}{Q_1} \rightarrow Q_1 = \frac{W}{\eta}

Q_1 = \frac{4500}{0.83}

Q_1 = 5421J

The total change of energy is equivalent to 4500J and this is equal by conservation of energy to the total change in heat. So:

W = \Delta Q

W = Q_1-Q_2

4500 = 5421- Q_2

Q_2 = 921.68 J

Therefore the energy which is discharged to the lower temperature reservoir every cicle is 921.7J

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a speck of clay on the edge of a potter's wheel turning at 45 rpm (revolutions per
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a_{cp}=7.77m/s^2

Explanation:

The equation for centripetal acceleration is a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{r}.

We know the wheel turns at 45 rpm, which means 0.75 revolutions per second (dividing by 60), so our frequency is f=0.75Hz, which is the inverse of the period T.

Our velocity is the relation between the distance traveled and the time taken, so is the relation between the circumference C=2\pi r and the period T, then we have:

v=\frac{C}{T}=2\pi r f

Putting all together:

a_{cp}=\frac{(2\pi r f)^2}{r}=4 \pi^2f^2r=4 \pi^2(0.75Hz)^2(0.35m)=7.77m/s^2
