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

An object is moving in a circle. If the radius of the object is doubled, and the period remains constant, the magnitude of the v
Anton [14]

Answer:

Twice

Explanation:

From the formula for velocity in a circle

V= 2πr/T

Where V is velocity

r is raduis

T is period

We see that as r increases V increases so if r is doubled V becomes doubled

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.1 m/s. How long does h
balandron [24]
We need to use the kinematic equation
S=ut+(1/2)at^2
where
S=displacement (+=up, in metres)
u=initial velocity (m/s)
t=time (seconds)
a=acceleration (+=up, in m/s^2)

Substitute values
S=displacement = 1.96-2.27 = -0.31 m (so that shot does not hit his head)
u=11.1
a=-9.81 (acceleration due to gravity)

-0.31=11.1t+(1/2)(-9.81)t^2
Rearrange and solve for t
-4.905t^2+11.1t-0.31=0
t=-0.02756 or t=2.291 seconds 
Reject the negative root to give
t=2.29 seconds (to 3 significant figures)

How does a bimetallic strip work in a sinple alarm system​
tatiyna
The bimetallic strip in a fire alarm is made of two metals with different expansion rates bonded together to form one piece of metal. Typically, the low-expansion side is made of a nickel-iron alloy called Invar, while the high-expansion side is an alloy of copper or nickel. The strip is electrically energized with a low-voltage current. When the strip is heated by fire, the high-expansion side bends the strip toward an electrical contact. When the strip touches that contact, it completes a circuit that triggers the alarm to sound. The width of the gap between the contacts determines the temperature that will set off the alarm.
