Answer: Hale-Bopp was an unusually bright comet that flew by Earth, reaching its closest approach to the planet in 1997.
Explanation:
Hale-Bopp is the answer
For this, you need the v-squared equation, which is v(final)² = v(initial)² + 2aΔx
The averate acceleration is thus a = (v(final)² - v(initial)²) / 2Δx = (20² - 15²) / 2(50) = 175 / 100 = 1.75 m/s²
So the average acceleration is 1.75 m/s²
Input heat, Qin = 4 x 10⁵ J
Output heat, Qout = 3.5 x 10⁵ J
From the first Law of thermodynamics, obtain useful work performed as
W = Qin - Qout
= 0.5 x 10⁵ J
By definition, the efficiency is
η = W/Qin
= 100*(0.5 x 10⁵/4 x 10⁵)
= 12.5%
Answer: The efficiency is 12.5%
A scalar quantity is a measurement of a quantity, like temperature, or mass.
