Answer:

D

Explanation:

The gravitational force between any two objects is affected by the masses of the objects and the distance between them. The greater the masses of the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force is.

Since all four of the satellites are the same distance from the Earth's surface, only their masses affect the strength of the gravitational force. At 903 kilograms, satellite D has the greatest mass, so the gravitational force pulling it toward the Earth is the greatest.

An engine manufacturer makes the claim that the engine they have developed will, on each cycle, take 100J of heat out of boiling
Alborosie

Answer:

Explanation:

Intake heat, QH = 100 J

output heat, Qc = 20 J

Work, W = 80 J

TH = 100°C = 373 K

Tc = 10°C = 283 K

TH/ Tc =  373 / 283 = 1.318

QH/Qc = 100 / 20 = 5

for a heat engine, those ratios should be same. so temperature is not correct.

The magnitude of the frictional force along the plane is most nearly​
Svetach [21]

Answer:

F = N*μ or F =m*g*μ

Explanation:

The friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the corresponding friction factor.

When a body is in equilibrium over a horizontal plane its normal force value shall be equal to:

N = m*g\\where:\\m=mass [kg]\\g=gravity [m/s^2]\\N= normal force [N]

if we simplify this formula more for a balanced body on a horizontal plane, we will have.

F=m*g*u

A Carnot air conditioner takes energy from the thermal energy of a room at 63°F and transfers it as heat to the outdoors, which
vodomira [7]

Answer:

For the Carnot air conditioner working as a heat pump between 63 and 100°F , It would transfer 3.125 Joules of heat for each Joule of electric energy supplied.

Explanation:

The process described corresponds to a Carnot Heat Pump. A heat pump is a devices that moves heat from a low temperature source to a relative high temperature destination. <em>To accomplish this it requires to supply external work</em>.

For any heat pump, the coefficient of performance is a relationship between the heat that is moving to the work that is required to spend doing it<em>.</em>

For a Carnot Heat pump, its coefficient of performance is defined as:

COP_{HP}=\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_L} Where:

  • T is the temperature of each heat deposit.
  • The subscript H refers to the high temperature sink(in this case the outdoors at 100°F)
  • The subscript L refers to the low temperature source (the room at 63°F)

Then, for this Carnot heat pump:

COP_{HP}=\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_L}=\frac{100°F}{100°F-63°F}=3.125

So for each 3.125 Joules of heat to moved is is required to supply 1 Joule of work.
