Why must the operating temperature of a heat engine be higher than that of the cold sink?

Physics

6 0

Answer:

It is important to note, that the 2nd Law of thermodynamics plays no fundamental role in answering this question; we need a heat sink because the entropy is a state function, and at the end of the reversible process (which is visualized through the Carnot cycle diagram relevant for this problem), the entropy value of the system must return to the value it had originally.

Find the work done by a man who is pulling a box of 45kg of mass by means of rope which makes angle of 45 degrees.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Since no distance is given, the force is not doing any work

No work is done by the man since we do not know the distance or displacement.

Work is only said to be done when the force applied on an object moves it through a particular distance.

 Work done  = Force x distance.

Since no distance is given in this problem, we can as well assume that the force applied is doing no work on the object.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

it is the Hubble law

Explanation:

Hubble's law, also known as the Hubble–Lemaître law, is the observation in physical cosmology that galaxies are moving away from the Earth at speeds proportional to their distance. In other words, the farther they are the faster they are moving away from Earth.

In a tug of war, two teams exerts a force of 30 N each. What is the net force acting on the rope?
Arte-miy333 [17]

The force exerted by each team is 30 N. The forces are in the direction opposite to each other.

Force exerted by team 1, F_{1}=30 N

Force exerted by team 2,F_{2}=-30 N

Net force, F=F_{1} +F_{2}

=30+(-30)=0

Therefore, net force on the rope is 0 N.
