A Carnot engine operates with an efficiency of 26.0% when the temperature of its cold reservoir is 281 K. Assuming that the temp

erature of the hot reservoir remains the same, what must be the temperature of the cold reservoir in order to increase the efficiency to 35.0%?

Answer:

The temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%

Explanation:

In first case we have given efficiency of Carnot engine = 26 % = 0.26

Temperature of cold reservoir T_L=281K

We know that efficiency of Carnot engine is given by

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

0.26 =1-\frac{281}{T_H}

T_H=379.72K

For second Carnot engine efficiency is given as 35% = 0.35

And temperature of hot reservoir is same so T_H=379.72K

So 0.35=1-\frac{T_L}{379.72}

T_L=246.818K

So the temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%

A light source radiates 60.0 W of single-wavelength sinusoidal light uniformly in all directions. What is the average intensity
umka21 [38]

Answer: 29.85\ W/m^2

Explanation:

Given

Power P=60\ W

Distance from the light source r=0.4\ m

Intensity is given by

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

Inserting values

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{60}{4\pi (0.4)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{60}{2.010}\\\\\Rightarrow I=29.85\ W/m^2

This is a computer program, why is there an error between the computer values and the nominal values of R?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

the difference is due to resistance tolerance

Explanation:

In mathematical calculations, either done by hand or in a computer program, the heat taken from the resistors is the nominal value, which is the writing in its color code, so all calculations give a result, but the Resistors have a tolerance, indicated by the last band that is generally 5%, 10%, 20% and in the expensive precision resistance can reach 1%.

   This tolerance or fluctuation in the resistance value is what gives rise to the difference between the computation values ​​and the values ​​measured with the instruments, multimeters.

   Another source of error also occurs due to temperature changes in the circuit that affect the nominal resistance value, there is a very high resistance group that indicates the variation with the temperature, they are only used in critical circuits, due to their high cost

In summary, the difference is due to resistance tolerance.

The wavelength of violet light is about 425 nm (1 nanometer = 1 × 10−9 m). what are the frequency and period of the light waves?
BigorU [14]

1. Frequency: 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz

The frequency of a light wave is given by:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

In this problem, we have light with wavelength

\lambda=425 nm=425\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s}{425\cdot 10^{-9} m}=7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz


2. Period: 1.42 \cdot 10^{-15}s

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

The frequency of this light wave is 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.42\cdot 10^{-15} s

The internal energy of nmoles of an ideal gas depends on a. one state variable T.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Correct option a. one state variable T.

Explanation:

In the case of an ideal gas it is shown that internal energy depends exclusively on temperature, since in an ideal gas any interaction between the molecules or atoms that constitute it is neglected, so that internal energy is only kinetic energy, which depends Only of the temperature. This fact is known as Joule's law.

The internal energy variation of an ideal gas (monoatomic or diatomic) between two states A and B is calculated by the expression:

ΔUAB = n × Cv × (TB - TA)

Where n is the number of moles and Cv the molar heat capacity at constant volume. Temperatures must be expressed in Kelvin.

An ideal gas will suffer the same variation in internal energy (ΔUAB) as long as its initial temperature is TA and its final temperature TB, according to Joule's Law, whatever the type of process performed.

A negatively-charged ion always has more what?
lina2011 [118]
The negative charge comes from the electrons.

An ion is negatively charged means it has more number of electrons compared to protons.

Thus, a negatively-charged ion always has more of ELECTRONS.
