25%.

Efficiency, in this case, means the work done...
Heat is a by-product of combustion and is lost energy. What remains the work done by the engine.

Our of 200 J, only 50 J are left out of 200 J.

So, 50 J remaining divided by 200 total I

50/200 = 1/4 = 25%

Two cars A and B, travel in a straight line. The distance of A from the starting point is given as a function of time by x????(?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

a) They are in the same point

b) t = 0 s, t = 2.27 s, t = 5.73 s

c) t = 1 s, t = 4.33 s

d) t = 2.67 s

Explanation:

Given equations are:

x_{a}(t) = at+bt^2

x_{b}(t) = ct^2-dt^3

Constants are:

a = 2.60 m/s, b = 1.20 m/s^2, c= 2.80 m/s^2, d = 0.20 m/s^3

a) "Just after leaving the starting point" means that t = 0. So, if we look the equations, both x_a(t) and x_b(t) depend on t and don't have constant terms.

So both cars A and B are in the same point.

b) Firstly, they are in the same point in x = 0 at t = 0. But for generalized case, we must equalize equations and solve quadratic equation where roots will give us proper t value(s).

at+bt^2 = ct^2-dt^3

2.6t + 1.2t^2 = 2.8t^2 - 0.2t^3\\0.2t^2 - 1.6t + 2.6 = 0\\t^2 - 8t + 13 = 0

t_1 = 4 - \sqrt{3} = 2.27 s, t_1 = 4 + \sqrt{3} = 5.73 s

c) Since the distance isn't changing, the velocities are equal. To find velocities, we need to take the derivatives of both equations with respect to time and equalize them.

v_a(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}x_a(t) = a + 2bt \\v_b(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}x_b(t) = 2ct - 3dt^2\\a+2bt = 2ct - 3dt^2\\3dt^2+2(b-c)t+a = 0\\0.6t^2-3.2t+2.6 = 0

t_1 = 1 s, t_2 = 4.33 s

d) For same acceleration, we we need to take the derivatives of velocity equations with respect to time and equalize them.

a_a(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}v_a(t) = 2b \\a_b(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}v_b(t) = 2c - 6dt\\2b = 2c - 6dt\\3dt = c - b\\t = (c - b)/3d = (2.8 - 1.2)/(3*0.2) = 2.67 s

Question 4. A tuning fork ‘A’ produces 6 beats/sec with another fork ‘B’ of un-known frequency. On
8090 [49]

Clever problem.

We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks.  So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is      6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz.  But which one is it ?

Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz.  That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.

If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.

The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz.  While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.
