Solution :
Given :
Mass attached to the spring = 4 kg
Mass dropped = 6 kg
Force constant = 100 N/m
Initial amplitude = 2 m
Therefore,
a).
= 10 m/s
Final velocity, v at equilibrium position, v = 5 m/s
Now,
A' = amplitude = 1.4142 m
b).
m' = 2m
Hence,
c).
Therefore, factor
Thus, the energy will change half times as the result of the collision.
Answer:
(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%
Explanation:
Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as: solving to Q_out we get:
this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us:
where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get:
