Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

An object is dropped onto the moon (gm = 5 ft/s2). How long does it take to fall from an elevation of 250 ft.?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

250 = 0 + (0) t + ½ (5) t²

250 = 2.5 t²

t² = 100

t = 10

It takes 10 seconds to land from a height of 250 ft.

A Carnot heat engine uses a hot reservoir consisting of a large amount of boiling water and a cold reservoir consisting of a lar

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

$W=4037.36\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of ice melted, $m=3.3\times10^{-2}\ kg$

time taken by the ice to melt, $t=5\ min=300\ s$

latent heat of the ice, $L=3.34\times 10^5\ J$

Now the heat rejected by the Carnot engine:

$Q_R=m.L$

$Q_R=0.033\times 3.34\times 10^5$

$Q_R=11022\ J$

Since we have boiling water as hot reservoir so:

$T_H=373\ K$

The cold reservoir is ice, so:

$T_L=273\ K$

Now the efficiency:

$\eta=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$\eta=1-\frac{273}{373}$

$\eta=26.81\%$

Now form the law of energy conservation:

Heat supplied:

$Q_S-W=Q_R$

where:

$Q_S=$ heat supplied to the engine

$Q_S-\eta\times Q_S=Q_R$

$Q_S(1-\eta)=Q_R$

$Q_S=\frac{11022}{1-0.2681}$

$Q_S=15059.36\ J$

Now the work done:

$W=Q_S-Q_R$

$W=15059.36-11022$

$W=4037.36\ J$
