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%

Answer: Highly-elliptical-earth-orbit (heo)

Explanation: Highly-elliptical-earth-orbit (heo) satellite system has unique properties

which is used by governments for spying and by scientific agencies for observing celestial bodies. It is an extremely elongated orbit that is useful for communication satellites which creates signals between a source transmitter and a receiver at different locations on earth. They are used by government for spying, scientific agencies for observing celestial bodies, for the internet and telephone communications.

Can you guys help to understand this graph I'm so confused why I getting wrong?
dedylja [7]
The one fact that needs to be mentioned but isn't given anywhere on or around the graph is: The distance, on the vertical axis, is the distance FROM home. So any point on the graph where the distance is zero ... the point is in the x-axis ... is a point AT home.

Segment D ...
Walking AWAY from home; distance increases as time increases.

Segment B ...
Not walking; distance doesn't change as time increases.

Segment C ...
Walking away from home, but slower than before; distance increases as time increases, but not as fast. Slope is less than segment-D.

Segment A ...
Going home; distance is DEcreasing as time increases. Walking pretty fast ... the slope of the line is steep.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

option (A) - false

option (B) - true

option (C) - true

option (D) - true

option (E) - true

option (F) - true

Explanation:

The sound waves are mechanical waves that means they need a medium to travel.

The light waves are non mechanical waves it means they do not need a medium to travel.

Sound cannot travel trough vacuum.

Sound can travel through air and water.

Light can travel trough vacuum and in air and in water.
