Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The efficiency of Carnot's heat engine is 26.8 %.

Explanation:

Temperature of hot reservoir, TH = 100 degree C = 373 K

temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 0 degree C = 273 K

The efficiency of Carnot's heat engine is

$\eta = 1-\frac{Tc}{T_H}\\\\\eta = 1 -\frac{273}{373}\\\\\eta = 0.268 =26.8 %$

The efficiency of Carnot's heat engine is 26.8 %.

Describe the differences among ultraviolet waves, visible light waves, and infrared waves. how are these waves alike?

sergeinik [125]

Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). ... The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency.

A damped mass/spring system takes 14.0 s for its amplitude of the oscillator to decrease by a factor of 9. By what factor does t

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.246".

Explanation:

Given that the amplitude is decreased by a factor of 9, then

$A \rightarrow (A-\frac{A}{9} )$

$A \rightarrow \frac{8A}{9}$

As we know,

Energy will be:

⇒ $E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}KA^2$

and,

⇒ $E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}K(\frac{8A}{9} )^2$

$=\frac{64KA^2}{162}$

⇒ $\Delta E=E_1-E_2$

On putting the estimated values, we get

$=\frac{1}{2}KA^2-\frac{64KA^2}{162}$

⇒ $\frac{\Delta E}{E}=\frac{\frac{20}{162}KA^2}{\frac{1}{2}KA^2}$

$=\frac{40}{162}$

$=0.246$

Find the length of a pendulum that oscillates with a frequency of 0.16 hz. the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . answe

Vsevolod [243]

The period of the pendulum is the reciprocal of the frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.16 Hz}=6.25 s$

The period of the pendulum is given by
$T=2 \pi \frac{L}{g}$
where L is the length of the pendulum, and g the acceleration of gravity. By re-arranging the formula and using the value of T we found before, we can calculate the length of the pendulum L:
$L=g \frac{T^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=(9.81 m/s^2) \frac{(6.25 s)^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=9.71 m$

The speed of a tennis ball that is served is 73.14 m/s. During a serve, the ball typically starts from rest and is in contact wi

Serga [27]

Answer: Third option

F = 250w

Explanation:

The impulse can be written as the product of force for the time interval in which it is applied.

$I = F (t_2-t_1)$
