Answer:

Explanation:

T₁ = 700 + 273 = 973 k

T₂ = 330 + 273 = 603 k

Theoretical efficiency = T₁ - T₂ / T₁

= (973 - 603) / 973

= .38 OR 38%

Operating efficiency = .79 x 38

= 30.02 %

Heat input Q₁ , Heat output to sink Q₂ , conversion into power = Q₁ - Q₂

given Q₁ - Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹ W

efficiency = Q₁ - Q₂  /  Q₁

Q₁ - Q₂  /  Q₁ = 30.02 / 100

100Q₁ - 100Q₂ = 30.02Q₁

69.98 Q₁  = 100Q₂

Q₁  = 1.429 Q₂

Putting this in the relation

Q₁ - Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹ W

1.429Q₂ - Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹ W

.429Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹

Q₂  = 3.03 x 10⁹W

= 3.03 GW.

Suppose that you can throw a projectile at a large enough v0 so that it can hit a target a distance R downrange. Given that you
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Theta1 = 12° and theta2 = 168°

The solution procedure can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

The Range is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile. This diatance is given mathematically by Vo cos(theta) t. Where t is the total time of flight of the projectile in air. It is the time taken for the projectile to go from starting point to finish point. This solution assumes the projectile finishes uts motion on the same horizontal level as the starting point and as a result the vertical displacement is zero (no change in height).

In the solution as can be found below, the expression to calculate the range for any launch angle theta was first derived and then the required angles calculated from the equation by substituting the values of the the given quantities.

Two identical silver spheres of mass m and radius r are placed a distance R (sphere 1) and 2R (sphere 2) from the Sun, respectiv
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The ratio of T2 to T1 is 1.0

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on each sphere by the sun is inversely proporational to the square of the distance between the sun and each of the spheres.

Provided that the two spheres have the same radius r, the pressure of solar radiation too, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of each sphere from the sun.

Let F₁ and F₂ = gravitational force of the sun on the first and second sphere respectively

P₁ and P₂ = Pressure of solar radiation on the first and second sphere respectively

M = mass of the Sun

m = mass of the spheres, equal masses.

For the first sphere that is distance R from the sun.

F₁ = (GmM/R²)

P₁ = (k/R²)

T₁ = (F₁/P₁) = (GmM/k)

For the second sphere that is at a distance 2R from the sun

F₂ = [GmM/(2R)²] = (GmM/4R²)

P₂ = [k/(2R)²] = (k/4R²)

T₂ = (F₂/P₂) = (GmM/k)

(T₁/T₂) = (GmM/k) ÷ (GmM/k) = 1.0

Hope this Helps!!!
