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

Bonus: What is the velocity of an 8 kg lead shot-put if it has 484 J of energy? Type here to search e​
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

11m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the lead shot = 8kg

Energy of the shot  = 484J

Unknown:

Velocity of the shot  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the kinetic energy formula;

        K.E  = \frac{1}{2} m v²  

m is the mass

v is the unknown

 Now, insert the parameters and solve;

        484  = \frac{1}{2} x 8 x v²

        484  = 4v²

           v² = 121

            v  = 11m/s

How acceleration and gravitation (acceleration) are related/different?
mihalych1998 [28]
The source of acceleration (without gravity) is transfer of energy from one object to another or change of its own energy structure so that one of its components changes into increasing energy of motion.
But gravity occurs with no measurable energy transfer nor is the gravitating mass changing its energy structure in order to produce gravity.
If the cause of acceleration and gravity is not related at all is the Equivalence principle just a coincidence that the resulting effects are physically identical and indistinguishable

The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by E. What is the strength of the el
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Using Coulomb's law equation

Force of the charge = k qQ /d²

and E = F/ q

substitute for F

E = ( K Qq/ d² ) / q

q cancel q

E = KQ / d²

so twice  the distance of the from the point charge will lead to the E ( electric field ) decrease by a 4 = E/4. E is inversely proportional to d²
