A Carnot engine, operating between hot and cold reservoirs whose temperatures are 800.0 and 400.0 K, respectively, performs a ce

rtain amount of work W1. The temperature of the cold reservoir is then lowered to 200.0 K (see the drawing), and the work done by the engine is W2. Assuming that the input heat QH is the same in both cases, what is the ratio W2/W1?

Answer:

The ratio between W2 and W1 is

p=1.5

Explanation:

The W2/W1 ratio equals the efficiency ratio, since the heat input is constant.

Initially, the Carnot efficiency is

1 - (Tc/Th)

1 - 400/800 = 0.50

After lowering Tc, the efficiency becomes

1 - (Tc/Th)  

1 - 200/800 = 0.75

So to determine the ratio between W2 and W1

W2/W1 = 0.75/0.50 = 1.5

State newton's universal law of gravitation
Lorico [155]

Every particle of mass is attracted to every other particle of mass.  The magnitude of the force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.  The direction of the force is along the line between their centers.

(NOTE:  Newton's 3rd law of motion tells us that gravitational forces always come in pairs.  Between two objects, there are two forces ... one in each direction.  Their strengths are equal ... Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.)

The sound from a loud speaker has an intensity level of 80 db at a distance of 2.0m. Consider the speaker to be a point source,
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

2.83m

Explanation:

The information that we have is

Intensity at 2.0 m: I=80dB and r_{1}=2m

we need an intensity level of: I_{2}=40dB

thus, we are looking for the distance r_{2}.

which we can find with the law for intensity and distance:

(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} )^2=\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}

we solve for r_{2}:

\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} }\\\\r_{2}=r_{1}\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} }

and we substitute the known values:

r_{2}=(2m)\sqrt{\frac{80dB}{40dB} }\\\\r_{2}=(2m)\sqrt{2}\\ r_{2}=2.83m

at a distance of 2.83m the intensity level is 40dB
