The second law of thermodynamics imposes what limit on the efficiency of a heat engine? The second law of thermodynamics imposes

what limit on the efficiency of a heat engine? A heat engine must deposit some energy in a cold reservoir. The energy a heat engine must deposit in a cold reservoir is greater than or equal to the energy it extracts from a hot reservoir. The energy a heat engine must deposit in a cold reservoir is greater than or equal to the energy extracted as useful work.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the state of entropy of the entire universe, as an isolated system, will always increase over time.

Take that as you will

zlopas [31]
Hubble noticed that the galaxies were moving away from us, which meant the universe was expanding.

This is why constellations change over time. In some years, the Big Dipper won't actually look like a dipper anymore.

How does an atmosphere change the temperature of a planet?
jolli1 [7]
The existence of atmosphere increases the average planetary temperature by more than 15°C, due to the greenhouse effect of some atmospheric compounds. The most important of them are water vapour (H2O), ozone (O3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4).

How can parallax allow us to determine the distance to a star
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Astronomers use a method similar to the one you used with your homemade quadrant. Twice the distance to the Sun, divided by the distance to the star (which is unknown so far) is equal to the tangent of the parallax angle of the star.

A wave pulse travels along a string at a speed of 200 cm/s. What will be the speed if:
34kurt

Answer:

a) v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2TL}{m}} = \sqrt{2} v = \sqrt{2}2m/s =2.83 m/s

The velocity increase by a factor of \sqrt{2}

b) v_f = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{4m}} = \frac{1}{2} v = \frac{1}{2} *2m/s =1 m/s

The velocity decrease by a factor of 2.

c) v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{m}} = 2} v = 2 *2m/s =4m/s

The velocity increase by a factor of 2

d) v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{4m}} = v = 2m/s

The velocity not changes.

Explanation:

For this case we know that the velocity is v = 200 cm/s = 2m/s

v_f represent the final velocity after the changes specified,

Part a

The formula for the speed of a wave in a string is given by:

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}

And the linear density is defined as:

\rho = \frac{m}{L}

And if we replace this we got:

v = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{m}}

If the tension mass is doubled we have this:

v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2TL}{m}} = \sqrt{2} v = \sqrt{2}2m/s =2.83 m/s

The velocity increase by a factor of \sqrt{2}

Part b

If we mass is quadrupled we have this:

v_f = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{4m}} = \frac{1}{2} v = \frac{1}{2} *2m/s =1 m/s

The velocity decrease by a factor of 2.

Part c

If the length is quadrupled we have this:

v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{m}} = 2} v = 2 *2m/s =4m/s

The velocity increase by a factor of 2

Part d

For this case we know that the mass and the length are both quadrupled and we got:

v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{4m}} = v = 2m/s

The velocity not changes.
