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

How does an atom change if all of its electrons are removed?
Alex
<span>The atom becomes positively charged.

When you add electrons to a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom, it has a negative change and is an anion. When you take away electrons from a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom- it becomes a positive atom, and is a cation.</span>

0.16 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 70 cm^3 container at 30°C. The gas then undergoes an isothermal expansion to a
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of argon = 0.16 mol

Initial volume = 70 cm³

Angle = 30°C

Final volume = 400 cm³

We need to calculate the initial pressure of gas

Using equation of ideal gas

PV=nRT

P_{i}=\dfrac{nRT}{V}

Where, P = pressure

R = gas constant

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

P_{i}=\dfrac{0.16\times8.314\times(30+273)}{70\times10^{-6}}

P_{i}=5.75\times10^{6}\ Pa

P_{i}=56.827\ atm

We need to calculate the final temperature

Using relation pressure and volume

P_{2}=\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}

P_{2}=\dfrac{56.827\times70}{400}

P_{2}=9.94\ atm

Hence, The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.

In order for an object to have kinetic energy it must have a mass and a ?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

  • The mechanical energy of the body is defined as the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy.

                                   E = P.E + K.E

  • The potential energy of a body is due to the height from the surface of the earth.

                                  P.E = mgh

  • The kinetic energy of the is possessed by the body due to the virtue of its motion,

                                  K.E = ½ mv²

  • If there is no velocity associated with the body, there is no K.E in the body.
